| Message | The Reform Option does not support this bill. Our reasoning for it is because people travel from locality to locality as well as state to state all the time. This makes it very much a national issue. Assume you are eating in a town with lax health and safety regulations and you get sick when you arrive back at your own town. Let's say it's something that is contagious and spreads across the nation. Health and Safety laws are national issues and should be regulated equally across the country. We don't want people spreading a potentially dangerous contagion because a local or state government doesn't mandate hand washing laws, for example. |
