Video: Cuts to lead poisoning prevention program

The programs that provided grants to state and local health departments must now be funded on a state level instead of by the Centers for Disease Control. NBC?s Brian Williams reports.

>>> nbc news has learned tonight a 20-year-old program at the centers for disease control that helps cities and states prevent lead poisoning in children has been all but eliminated from the agency's budget. the program provided grants to state and local health departments for testing and inspection of lead paint contamination that of course can cause serious brain damage in young children. beginning september 1st if individual states want to continue their programs they'll have to come up with the money themselves.
