Rep. Cori Bush: ‘I Can Only Imagine the Number of My Constituents Unknowingly Being Poisoned by Their Gas Stove’

EXCERPT:

BUSH: “I can only imagine the number of my constituents who are unknowingly being poisoned by their gas stove in the state that it is, without this proposed rule being in effect, especially young children, our elders and people with disabilities who are disproportionately at risk for contracting respiratory illnesses. Let's not forget that many of these gas stoves are not owned by the residents of those homes, but often absentee or corporate landlords. That is a thing. We have a number of housing regulations in place to ensure that renters are kept safe. This also applies when we speak about keeping renters safe to the indoor air pollution, how that should be a top concern.”
