Legislation

[Guest guest]

Alison, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this information - that is exactly

what I needed. I'm drafting the letter right now, actually, that

each of us can personalize and send to our representatives, asking

them to support the bill and get it out of committee - using the

info you posted I found there is a bill in both in the House AND the

Senate.

If each of us and our spouses, our babies' grandparents and our

friends send in a letter this week, maybe we can actually do

something here?

I think you are on the right track. My mom just sent me something similar for women who have a mastectomy - it would require a 2 day hospital stay to help women recoup. It is sponsered my Lifetime TV - Maybe we could get TLC or Discovery Health or some other media group to help sponser and get the word out there.

Just a thought!

Hi! My name is McBride. Recently the Asbury Park Press (New

Jersey) did a story on my family as we fell prey to Stachybotry's. We

all suffered a host of illness's from memory loss, tremors, tooth

loss, nausea, growths, fatigue, sleeplessness, shin problems, etc. We

also lost our cat named Cuddles. We rented and with no money were

trapped in this chamber of horrors with no way to escape. Every

agency could not or would not help. Both state and county Board of

Health departments stated no laws, authority, or do they possess the

capabilities to even test for this. I called every agency in the

state. We lost everything, but most importantly it is our health that

I am concerned about. Due to this I began working with the

legislature. During the crisis I contacted Senator Kean's office and

they even made calls to the local town inspector who was just

brushing me off and even lying. After that call and a call made by my

doctor, the town finally closed the house. However this took some

doing. However knowing that we are not alone, I began doing much

research and have spoken with the Senator's office and already have

two pieces a legislation being co-sponsored by a few. This would be

to mandate mold disclosure by home owners. Much more needs to be

done. I wish to produce Bills which would mandate testing and

remediation (professionally) if mold suspected. Insurance reform and

regulation as far as disposal of contaminated items is also needed. I

have received emails with stories and support for this and would like

more. I have a meeting scheduled later this month with another

legislator who sits on the NJ Health Commission and would like to

bring as much information and support as possible. If anyone wishes

to join me in this, or any suggestions, please contact me via email

(johnmcbride333@... or moldleg333@...) or after 7pm

eastern time at 908-627-0784. This has been going on far far too

long! We all need this done!
