Johnna Davis: Littlefield killed bill to hold Saint Gobain Plastics responsible
I find it interesting that Richard Littlefield mentioned Saint Gobain Plastics in his May 1 letter. Either his memory is failing him or he’s hoping no one actually fact checks but I for one thought something wasn’t quite right with that letter. The truth being that he voted to kill the bill that would have held Saint Gobain responsible (the bill’s text and his vote can be found on the General Court’s website here tinyurl.com/3d3z94zs and here tinyurl.com/5bz3wmj6) It hasn’t gone unnoticed that he and others are trying on their new, kinder, gentler attire. Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
