What should states do to inform homebuyers about former meth houses?
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The Post-Dispatch found methamphetamine residue lingers in homes for months, even years, after raids.
Illinois and Missouri residents now living in those homes said they were never told of their homes’ histories as meth labs or the health risks some experts believe in their homes.
Do you think both states need to do more to keep homeowners informed and force decontaminations?

First off, thanks for the article.
Second, to those contemplating buying a home in Lincoln or Jefferson counties especially, you may want to ask the “meth lab” question.
