In the city where we lived before TV, a population of about 160,000, we had a gang problem for years. Everyone with a brain knew that but the mayor, city council and the police chief would vehemently deny there were gangs. In their pea brain minds they thought it would show weakness in their leadership if they admitted to the city having a gang problem. They finally had to admit to it, the crime level rose so much that it couldn't be denied any more. Politician and their hacks lie and obfuscate all the time for various reasons. Old saw, how do you know when a politician or bureaucrat is lying? When his lips are moving.
