WTCA - Northeast Chapter Unites over Building Label Legislation in Maine

• WTCA-NE President John Goodrich and other chapter members found volunteers to attend a hearing where legislation about building labeling was to be proposed. 
• WTCA-NE chapter members attended the hearing to making sure that our industry’s voice and policies would be heard in the midst of this legislative process. 
• The myths surrounding labeling on truss construction can provide the fire service with a false sense of security and has many negative implications on the truss industry. 
• Local chapter members need to monitor their local issues so that other chapter members can draw from their experiences when a similar bill is proposed in their area.
