Snyder Recall Petition Language Approved

The Board of State Canvassers has given the green light to petition language to recall the governor over the Flint water crisis.

The same panel also rejected five other petitions to recall Rick Snyder and one to recall Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley.

Organizers now have 180 days to start circulating petitions and 60 days from the day they start to collect the necessary 789,133 signatures needed to recall Snyder.

The group says it will try and raise $2 million to fund its efforts and plans to start collecting signatures once the weather warms up.
