Regulations Help Workers

* Why do Republicans always talk about getting rid of regulations?  Do they want to permit companies to dump whatever toxic chemical they want into our drinking water?  Do Republicans even care about the safety of their workers?


There are precautions that every company should take to protect their employees and the public.  Regulations exist to protect all of us.  A website at OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Adminstration) has a list of companies that have had safety problems for every state, including Ohio.  Here is a sampling from OSHA on Ohio for 2011:
