This is in response to story about a jury finding Lewiston landlords not liable for a tenant’s lead poisoning (March 28). That is the reason tenants like myself, with our children, have to move around, because tenants don’t stand a chance in court without a good lawyer.

My daughter came down with lead poisoning. Instead of facing the problem, the landlord avoided the issue.

That is why local government needs to be bypassed and the issue brought to the federal level. Local government officials don’t care about tenants because they aren’t owners.

I am a single father of two toddlers and cannot believe this has been allowed in our “lead-free” society.
