"ANN ARBOR, MI -- Hundreds of messages written in chalk littered the sidewalks in downtown Ann Arbor surrounding Gov. Rick Snyder's condo as residents continue to express their anger over the Flint Water Crisis.
Messages ranged from calling for Snyder's resignation to demands that he release emails to claims that he knew of the issue and failed to react properly.
...Susan Fecteau has been leaving chalk messages outside of Snyder's residence since the beginning of January. However, Sunday night she had some company.
Approximately 30 people joined her at 11:30 p.m. Sunday to begin leaving messages surrounding the residence.
The group finished up around 3 a.m. Fecteau said.
"We've been trying to do it the last five Sunday's.
But we've been rained out or snowed out for the last five Sundays," Fecteau said.
"We would have had two to three times the number folks if we did it at a more convenient time."
The messages were written on both sides Main Street from East Washington to East William and down portions of East Liberty.
In the alley behind Snyder's condo, dozens of quotes from the works of William Shakespeare were chalked as well.
...Although some people may see the chalk as a nuisance, Fecteau said the response has been overwhelmingly positive since she started leaving the messages..."
