Legislation Passed To Disclose Mercury
in “Silver” Dental Fillings
Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown introduced
bill #040904 introduced addressing the
unforeseen side of “silver dental
fillings.” The bill is about the
right to know, mercury is toxic, and consumers
being aware of their dental options. Dental
fillings are in fact 50% mercury, and
are a source of mercury pollution in Philadelphia’s
water. “Consumers have the right
to know that silver fillings aren’t
silver-they are mainly mercury, and non-toxic
alternatives like resin should be considered,”
Reynolds Brown stated. read

Councilwoman
Blondell Reynolds Brown to Protect Minors
from Fund-Raising in the Streets
The City Council of Philadelphia passed
legislation (#070949) introduced by Councilwoman
Reynolds Brown, to prohibit children from
fund-raising in the streets. Reynolds
Brown and her colleagues acknowledge the
rise of accidents that include city youth,
which has seemingly grown with the influx
of violence. This preventive measure will
prohibit minors from attempting to raise
funds in or upon any street, roadway,
or traffic lane. “Too often children
are in the middle of street knocking on
car windows, I am not opposed to them
being opportunistic but they are in harm’s
way. I am in the business of providing
safety for children. I will feel much
more comfortable knowing officers will
add this to their detail.”
