Re: “Groups seek to delay law on ‘forever chemicals’ reporting.” We recently received a letter indicating that our city water contains amounts of PFAS just under the emergency threshold. These chemicals can cause profound negative health impacts. The businesses that are complaining need to get over it, use their resources and test their products. They should stop whining about the work it will take to determine whether or not their products are toxic. They should take responsibility for poisoning our populace. We cannot continue to put products ahead of people. I applaud this legislation and hope that Maine continues to hold these companies accountable. ~ Katherine Johnston, Hallowell
