Money Can’t Buy Health
A recent Martinsville Bulletin article entitled “Hurt co-authors bill against regulation” states the following:
“If there is no state or local regulation in place, the EPA must determine that the type of dust or particulate matter in question causes adverse health effects and that the benefits of further EPA regulation outweigh the costs to the local and regional communitie, including economic and employment impacts.”
Now that is pro-life isn’t it?
A request made by phone to Rep. Robert Hurt’s office requesting a copy of the legislation went unanswered. Obviously this raises questions in our minds and we intend to get answers. A FACES member attempted to publish a letter in the Martinsville Bulletin on this topic when Mr. Hurt first came through the area pointing out the most extreme examples of regulations which he claimed unnecessary. It did not take Nostradamus to see where he was going as the above information illustrates. Unfortunately the letter (on this page) had those darn pesky facts in it, and it was close enough to being about a local issue that they wouldn’t print it. A written request to meet with Rep. Hurt has also gone unanswered.
