Re: RE : NYC MAY OUTLAW ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BY CITIZENS

Workmans Comp in NY is a joke and a fraud. It's protection only for

the corporations.

via the Police Dept.?

asserted to prevent such a ridiculous and " not in the public interest of health

and safety " ordinance or statute.

a collective bargaining issue?

g> The New York City Council is considering a bill that would make it

g> The Big Apple, of course, is the tourist-pumped city where EPA's post-

g> and knowingly false. Only independent testing by journalists and

g> medical personnel came up with evidence to explain why everybody was

g> coughing.

g> The bill, pushed by the NYPD's counter-terror chief, would make

g> possession of environmental detection equipment illegal without an

g> NYPD-issued license. Such devices, available widely on the open

g> market for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, are common on

g> construction and engineering sites where they save many lives that

g> might otherwise be lost to toxic occupational hazards.
