Pages recently updated:Latest reader comments:BPA bill fails to garner enough votes for passage "Sen. Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo, said he thought legislators didn't have the training to make conclusions about toxic substances and should defer to the Green Chemistry Council once it has formed. Logic Bomb! " by BigTuna 2 days ago Respond Read article Ban the Bag or Bag the Ban? "........Now that they have "carved out" segments of the population that may not be able to afford the added paper bag tax, is that not an acknowledgment that this policy proposal will, indeed, cost all consumers more at the checkout line?

That does not help stabilize the budget or critical government services in any way." by Creed 10 days ago Respond Read article |
