Just put a call into my Congressman, John Tierney. People answering phone in DC, and Peabody had not heard a thing about it. They were pretty surprised, so I expect I will hear back.

Bumping this up for those that missed it. And I heard back from none of my elected officials.... surprise, surprise. Taxes going up, regulatory requirements going up, and fines going up for the working man. $275 for the course, and $300 to register with the state.... Country's gone to hell..... Between this and the new OSHA requirements, the small businessman in the building trade is screwed. This will trickle down to every homeowner. Just another way to keep the construction industry from helping us get out of this crappy economy.

Small job lead abatement has never been worth it in the first place.

Friends just turned down a job at a church based on the ins costs along with the liability of the lead.
And they already have the equipment along with the workers trained in it.

This isn't lead abatement, this is remodeling, renovating, and painting.... Gotta do zip walls and white suits to do a single window replacement....

And some dude does a halfassed job and someone gets cancer in the house/business/whatever and sues everyone from the paint company to the GC's helper.

That what you want?

This is not about cancer, it's about lead poisoning in children under the age of six. Most elevated levels of lead in children is due to them ingesting the lead paint. I just don't understand your point......
