New report says cost of Flint water crisis legal fees exceed $30 mil. So far.
According to a new senate fiscal agency report, Flood Law has spent $6.6 million on the case so far.
Senator Jim Ananich says taxpayers should be outraged over the money being spent.
What will $30 million get you these days?
Ananich says some of the lawyers are making more than $1,000 an hour.
In most cases each defendant has more than one lawyer.
James White says " I’m unable to comment…(Joel) Are the lawyers getting rich off the Flint water crisis?
(White) I haven’t received $30 million."
Are the lawyers getting rich off the Flint water crisis?
Senator Jim Ananich says " No question about it."
But a Ketttering University professor, who testified during a preliminary hearing, says money got Flint into the water crisis, so this isn’t the time to pinch pennies.
