Missy Gluckmann, the former Rockland Community College employee who was disabled by exposure to toxic mold in the building where she worked, has asked me to share this message with you. For background, see previous posts on The Canary Report here, here and here.

From Missy:

Friends,

Please read this link [to today's Journal News article] and see my comment – then can I ask you to please send a quick email that states something along these lines to the Rockland County legislator at legclerk@co.rockland.ny.us:

I am concerned about the safety of employees at Rockland Community College and request that Brucker Hall be closed while testing takes place. In addition, I am very unhappy that the biased county’s attorney is leading the investigation on illnesses in Brucker Hall – I request that a committee that represents all sides, including experts on mold and toxins, be formed to FAIRLY address this investigation and that the findings are swift and publicly released prior to July 30th. Please represent the PEOPLE, not the county’s insurance company! Per well documented reports, mycotoxins can permanently disable people with brain damage, respiratory disease and even cancer. Please act swiftly – lives are at stake.

Thank you for your support!!! Good health to each of you!

Missy
