You are looking at minimum up-front costs of $2,500. Which may not seem like much, but when you add in the already high taxes and ever shrinking margins...this is a 5% tax on a little guy clearing 50k a year.

No argument with what you said. I was simply taking the consumer position since I believe costs will get passed on to the consumer. Costs up, prices up, businesses shrink, less lead paint removed, more people die or get sick because of lead poisoning.

What's not to like with this bill?

And in many many districts, to do changes of this type you must obtain permits ... which of course means more fees/taxes/graft. I’m learning to hate democrats.
