Flint’s contaminated water likely contributed to the Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Genesee County, where the bacteria was found in a hospital’s water supply, an expert for McLaren Regional Medical Center said.

Water testing during the outbreak found Legionella bacteria at the Flint hospital, where an expert on the disease concluded the organism likely came from the city’s tainted water.

Further, a state analysis showed that a high number of those diagnosed with Legionnaires’ in Flint had been patients at McLaren Flint in the 14 days prior to showing symptoms.

Gov. Rick Snyder on Jan. 13 reported a spike in cases of the deadly disease in Genesee County, but he and state health officials said it was unclear if it was tied to Flint’s water crisis. The state reported 87 cases, including nine deaths, in the months after Flint started drawing corrosive water from the Flint River instead of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.

When one hires a crisis PR firm it screams out that they know they're at fault and are looking to save themselves. I believe they already advised him to find some scapegoats to fire in order to give him some cover. It won't work governor. You need to resign and the people need to have someone who cares in charge to make things right again.

I'm wondering if you are making The People of Flint pick up the bill for your crisis PR firm. You are just despicable enough to try and pull that off.

They are shameless but Flint is now every ReTHUGs nightmare. This is their plan for the poor and the minorities.
