the government has to come to the table, governor rick snyder, who through this process has created ater authority that does not have control of the water department. it's a separate entity now. we need to be in control of that, and the governor cannot hide behind this and not come to the table. folks that need water can't get it, we got water and can't get it. >> this is an issue of them trying to depopulate our neighborhoods from the indigenous residents. we see a wholesale shift of burden, the tax burtd to the poorest people and the most vulnerable in detroit, while other people get land for a dollar, other people's tax bills get tripled and quadruples, we ask all of those out there that don't wait for this to come to your neighborhood, get involved now, because if this was happening to your neighborhood, detroit would be there fighting with you. >> on thursday of this coming week, there's going to be a convoy from canada coming to detroit with water. >> good to have you both of you with us tonight. coming up, scott walker's new attack ad. we're right back. if hiring plumbers, carp

governor rick snyder has been facing one of the toughest revivals in his own state.e is overseeing detroit to the bankruptcy process. i sat down with him in an exclusive interview to find how he is trying to bring back -- jobs back. >> these are not mutually exclusive. they interlink. think about the innovations you have seen in autos and the other technologies coming into the vehicle. that is a big misconception. isy think manufacturing different than technology. that is not true. they are intertwined. go open up a car or talk about the technology that is in them. young companies are a big contributor. >> you want young people to come to detroit. had you convince them to come to the city? is 98% in downtown detroit. we have run out of housing. new housing instruction is coming online. .t there are great companies this is a building full of startups. this is a great place in terms of career opportunities. the other is quality of life. and exciting urban atmosphere. if you want to make a difference in the world and in your life, come to detroit. it is a place to make
