Fwd: Flame Retardants Momentum and Press

> From: Marjorie Decker <repdecker(a)gmail.com> > Date: May 24, 2019 at 3:47:22 PM EDT > Subject: Flame Retardants Momentum and Press > Reply-To: repdecker(a)gmail.com > > > > > Dear Friends, > > I'm excited to see that Minnesota has just signed a bill banning toxic flame retardant chemicals into law. I want to thank my colleagues who, in strong bipartisan support, voted to pass the flame retardant ban I filed alongside Senator Cynthia Creem last session. This bill would be law if not for Governor Charlie Baker's pocket veto at the eleventh hour. > > I'm proud of and encourage you to read this article published today by The Guardian. It pulls the curtain aside to reveal how the chemical industry methodically invests millions of dollars into confusing and misinforming the public and government officials around the facts surrounding the misnomer that is otherwise known as flame retardants. The industry claims they were blind sighted last session. That's not true. After spending millions of dollars on lobbyists, they simply underestimated that the Massachusetts Legislature would stand up for firefighters, families, and children rather than private interest carve outs (big profits). The chemical industry has just chosen to do their dirty work behind the curtain and invisible from the sight of legislators and the public. What they accomplished last session here in Massachusetts, with Governor Baker, as their accomplice is their model around the country. Fortunately, 13 states and Washington D.C. have not followed suit. > > I look forward to once again passing this bill. In round two, Governor Baker will either side with science, firefighters, children, and families or the interests of industry. We are ready to move this piece of legislation past the finish line. > > I want to thank the incredible leadership and support of Senator Cynthia Creem who has been pushing this bill in the Senate for eight years. I also want to thank the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM), Clean Water Action Massachusetts, Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG), Rep. Donald Wong, Minority Leader Brad Jones, Leader Paul Donato, and House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo who all leaned in deeply to help move this bill forward last session. > > Sincerely, > > Marjorie > > Friends of Marjorie Decker > P.O.Box 390431 > Cambridge, MA 02139 > See what's happening on our social sites > > > > > > > Friends of Marjorie Decker, PO Box 390431, Cambridge, MA 02139 > Forward this email | About our service provider > Sent by repdecker(a)gmail.com in collaboration with > > Try email marketing for free today!

Fwd: [NorthCommons] Car collisions at Linnaean and Hurlbut

Could someone put some pressure on the city to review the folks who turn off Upland to avoid the back up at the light and floor it as they head down Buena Vista Park? Sooner or later they are going to hit something/someone. > From: "Thom3 Thom3(a)aol.com [NorthCommons]" <NorthCommons-noreply(a)yahoogroups.com> > Date: May 23, 2019 at 1:51:37 PM EDT > To: northCommons(a)yahoogroups.com > Subject: [NorthCommons] Car collisions at Linnaean and Hurlbut > Reply-To: Thom3 <Thom3(a)aol.com> > > As reported on this listserve, there was a pretty serious collision yesterday when Hurlbut St was being used as a fast (speeding) cut through.. It happens a lot (not this serious, but enough). Through the 311 system I asked the city to review and see what they can do. If you feel the issue is worthy, you can vote to have the situation “fixed.” The more votes the higher it goes on the radar. > > > Thanks all > > Link to the ticket here => https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5902669 > > Sent from something electronic > __._,_.___ > Posted by: Thom3 <thom3(a)aol.com> > Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) > VISIT YOUR GROUP > • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use > > SPONSORED LINKS > > > > . > > > __,_._,___
