I am writing as your constituent in the 8th Congressional district of Maryland. I strongly support S.847 - Safe Chemicals Act of 2011--I support legislation that fundamentally reforms the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Comprehensive TSCA reform will increase consumer confidence, expand markets, create new jobs, and make U.S. businesses more competitive in the global marketplace. Designing new chemicals to be inherently safer from the outset reduces the costs of regulation, hazardous w... -
