"The publicity about it is overblown. Look, there is a problem with the water in Flint, or there has been," Ballenger said.
He acknowledged that "mistakes were made" in Flint but said that the reports of lead contamination in the city has created "terrible publicity for Flint."
"It's vastly exaggerated," he said.
“I don’t hold with this sciency stuff”, he added. “And don’t get me started on climate change. It’s vastly exaggerated too.”

Lead poisoning is very easy to test for. There is no gray area here. Idiots like this must not be allowed to create one.

Claiming we should care about a government inflicting neurological damage on poor black children to save a hundred bucks a month is just PC nonsense.

I saw this on CNN this morning and thought surely this guy is a bought-and-paid-for mouthpiece of the Snyder administration. Jackass.

The poverty and civic abandonment is obvious in most every visual out of Flint as is the incompetence of the state’s alleged leaders.

He is already showing the results of the lead filled water. I doubt he has grandchildren whose IQ is already damaged for life.
