I didn’t get one at my home, but I property manage a nearby vacant house and there was a message on the machine. The recording made it sound like the legislature is against fire retardants, but I suspected (correctly) that it is a matter of balancing the benefits and hazards of specific chemicals, and that there are alternatives that will do the job. It seemed odd the group would be pressuring on that kind of issue just a few days before the end of the session, especially given that the bill (S.109) hasn’t even crossed over. I hate robo calls and will never take action to lobby an elected official or vote a specific way following one.
 

The bill to phase out the use of toxic flame retardants and replace them with safe and effective alternatives is very much alive, which is why the chemical company is spreading such misinformation. It's attached to the health care bill, H.444, and is in the final stages of passage. VT firefighters are strongly backing this bill, which makes the robocalls all the more outrageous.
