August 4, 2017
8/3/17 – The Chemical Safety Board, which investigates chemical industry accidents and makes safety recommendations, is slated for elimination, but a labor activist argues against the move, citing the good it has done in his community. Even a former board member who resigned because of its bureaucratic fumblings gave it a nod recently in Issues, though emphasizing that the board will need to adopt a set of reforms centered primarily on making it more open and accountable to the public.
