ISSUES & LEGISLATIVE UPDATES:
PESTICIDE ISSUES
We
have a pesticide law to keep unnecessary lawn care pesticides out of
our nusery, grammer schools and day care centers. We now find the older
children are just as suseptable to the toxic effects of these pesticides.
Therefore, we have a second bill which will keep the ball rolling. You
can check out the latest bill at:
