Maine Legislature on pellets

[silvermander]

My boyfriend works at the state house and told me that they're looking at some new legislation for proper wording on pellet bags that come out of Maine.

This has come about due to the problems with Athens this past year.

Here is a link to everyone involved in the legislation if you'd like to email/weigh in on the topic -

I know there's a number of Maine-iacs here, so I thought I'd let you know what's up with pellets and legislation.

Thanks for the heads up. Guess we will need to wait to see what the text of the bill comes out to (If it ever gets that far).

It probably also has to do with the changes corinth made this year. A lot of people around here still think they are the best pellets in the area because they were so good last year not realizing they changed the materials/process to make them cheaper.

Well, here's what they have so far. I was unable to find it earlier when I originally posted. So nice to have a boyfriend who works computers at the state house!

It does give a little information for those interested.
