Stop emissions now

I attended State Sen. Melinda Bush's town hall on ethylene oxide, aka EtO, and I left with more questions than answers. Broad noncommittal statements were made. Sen. Bush needs to put words into action. Enough with town halls and celebratory feel good picnics with environmental activists like those she proudly posts about on Facebook. Companies are knowingly emitting cancer-causing gas into our air, and Lake County needs her leadership. She and her colleagues in the Senate need to pass HB3888 and HB3885 as is and now.
