Chittenden senatorial candidate, David Zuckerman just picked up another significant endorsement for 2012:

Professional Firefighters of Vermont President Matt Vinci stated “Dave has a proven track record of supporting working families and firefighters and we want you to stand with us in sending David back to Montpelier to represent Chittenden County in the Senate.”

The Firefighters made special note of the leadership shown by Rep. Zuckerman in securing passage of legislation banning the use of DECA, a toxic chemical used in manufactured furniture as a fire-retardant.   Due to the nature of their work environment, firefighters in particular were at risk from repeated exposures to the substance, which has been identified as a hazard affecting multiple functions including reproduction.
