It took two years, but Rep. Tommy Benton’s bill to protect animals – and children – from poisoning by antifreeze is going to the governor’s desk.
Last year the bill never came out of the Senate Rules Committee, and this year it spent several days in the same committee before being cleared for a successful Senate vote.
“It was persistence, I guess,” said Benton, who introduced the bill on behalf of a Jefferson woman whose two dogs were poisoned, one fatally, by antifreeze-tainted meat. “I think they were getting a good many phone calls about it too.”
