Re: CO DETECTORS REQUIRED UNDER NEW LAW
|
Chicago had that requirement for a while, I think it was one of the first. I couldn't beleive the greedy landlords that were against it, they didn't want to spend $20 per unit for a CO alarm.
On a side note, some cities in Illinois were talking about requiring sprinklers in houses. One of the state senators who is running for governor (Brady, who may have won the republican primary last week, he is ahead but almost tied with another) tried to prohibit towns from requiring sprinklers in houses. Its one thing for a city council member to be against it, but he is a state senator who was trying to prohibit cities from enacting a safety law. Guess what his business is?...a residential real estate developer of course. And he talks about bring honesty to state government
Builders were also fighting against the few extra dollars in costs for AFCI's., I bet the cheep greedy builders were against installing GFCI's and smoke alarms when they were required decades ago.
