Sen. Mark Leno wants to stop the chemical industry from pumping toxic crap into products used by babies and kids. SB 772 ought to be a slam dunk — but the chemical companies are fighting back. There’s a plea on Calitics for people to get invoved and help.

Leno’s used to this sort of battle, but he told me even he is amazed by the chemical industry’s tactics. IF we can’t win this one — a very mild bill protecting children — you wonder if we can beat these folks at anything.
