Glenn Cordelli: Answering Bobbi Boudman

Enough is enough of the misinformation, distortions and outright lies of Bobbi Boudman. Her recent letter attacking my record deserves some truth telling, so here it goes.

1. HB 1649 is probably the bill that Ms. Boudman is misrepresenting in her letter. She claims I support cancer causing chemicals in baby products and water supplies. As with many of you, my family has been impacted dramatically by cancer, so to charge I support cancer-causing chemicals is insulting. The bill dealt with PFAS but introduced a ban on any one of a large list of consumer products if they are made with a chemical compound whose formula contains one or more “fully fluorinated carbon” molecules. There are thousands of such compounds and consumer products numbering in hundreds of thousands — products such as Gore-Tex and Teflon and probably all clothing, cosmetics, and toys.
