You don't like Carl Strock because he doesn't agree with your little and I repeat "little" in-crowd.  Good for him.  At least Lazzari only got caught swearing on an unofficial day off.  He wasn't out selling
cocaine with his wife like some cops or building bombs at work in the school district.

Perhaps someone could 'anonymously' send Mr. Strock the info about the incident on no.westcott too?

Oh Comon - like your department/party/union have never slung a bit?

Quoted Text

To enhance the machinability of brass, lead is often added in concentrations of around 2%. This lead is present on the surface of the material, and thus presents a health concern similar to that of pure lead. Silicon is an alternative material, however when silicon is used in a brass alloy, the scrap must never be mixed with leaded brass scrap because of contamination and safety problems.[7]

Keys: In October 1999 the California State Attorney General sued 13 key manufacturers and distributors over lead content. In laboratory tests, state researchers found the average brass key, new or old, exceeded the California Proposition 65 limits by an average factor of 19, assuming handling twice a day [8]. In April 2001 manufacturers agreed to reduce lead content to 1.5%, or face a requirement to warn consumers about lead content. Keys plated with other metals are not affected by the settlement, and may continue to use high lead content alloys[9][10].

Plumbing: As of July 1, 2020 in California, lead-free brass (brass containing less than 0.25% lead) must be used for "each component that comes into contact with the wetted surface of pipes and pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures." The common practice of using pipes for electrical grounding is discouraged, as it accelerates lead corrosion.[11] [12].
