Decisions,Decisions.....
November election campaigns are now in the "home stretch".
So, locally do we want more of the same?
At the state level do we want to rock the boat?
At the national level do we want to give back the Congress to the Republicans just because the Democrats haven't fixed in 2 years what the Bush/Cheney Republicans took 8 years to
break?

Is George Catsavis a restaurant owner, Yes or No?
My last blog got hijacked by this question and the answer was never revealed.
Is George Catsavis a restaurant owner? If yes, which? If no, lets stop calling him that.
Responses?

EPA LEAD
The flyer was probably circulated as part of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week Oct. 18-24. So you were made aware 6 months before the deadline.

...the EPA has taken regulatory steps aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the new rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
Until the new regulations take effect, EPA recommends that anyone performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools follow lead-safe work practices. All contractors should follow these three simple procedures: Contain the work area; minimize dust; and cleanup thoroughly.
Currently, owners of residential rental properties built before 1978 must disclose known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before leases take effect. Leases must include a disclosure form about lead-based paint.
Sellers of properties built before 1978 must disclose known information on lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before selling a house. Sales contracts must include a disclosure form about lead-based paint. Buyers have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards.
