Vancouver, #Washington:
CITY: Dearest residents, there are PFAS ('forever chemicals') in your drinking water. But only low levels of them.
CITY: Well, they're over state limits, but "very low" levels, really.
JOURNO: Wait why aren't you accurately informing residents that no amount of PFAS in water is safe and they cause birth defects?
CITY: “We don’t want a negative headline.”
This concludes THINGS YOU WON'T BELIEVE CITY OFFICIALS ACTUALLY SAID TO A JOURNALIST.
