House Passes "Green Cleaning" Bill

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...By a 92-4 vote, the Kentucky House has passed legislation to promote the use of "green cleaning" products in schools. Democratic Representative Jim Gooch of Providence spoke against the bill, saying it was part of "an agenda to scare people." Gooch says the bill would promote products that are probably more expensive and probably not any better than those being used now. Democratic Representative Carl Rollins II of Midway, the bill's sponsor, says the bill doesn't cost anything and is not a mandate for the schools.
