SF Supervisors Adopt Mirkarimi’s Resolution - Say No To Spray!
Tuesday 15 Apr 2008 | LBAM Spray Bay Area
Here’s the little bit of good news you’ve been waiting for today. SF’s Supervisors unanimously voted against the aerial spraying, adopting Mirkarimi’s resolution.
There are some mistakes in the story and Kawamura continues to be quoted perjuring himself with the ridiculous statement that spraying people protects public health. Other than that, it’s good to hear a little good news.
I am trying to discover what happened with Carol Migden’s moratorium today? I can’t find the results of this. Does anyone have a link to the news on this? Thanks!

Please pass this on:
Up for vote in the Agriculture Committee of the CA assembly are 4 bills and one resolution addressing the many problems with this ill-begotten plan to spray whole cities for a moth that does not seem to cause any harm (ask your famer on farmer’s market -even the CA Dept. of Food and Ag admits there has been no crop damage).
One of the bills would actually give us a VOTE on the issue. Needless to say the AG committee serves big AG and will vote these bills down -unless we create massive public pressure tomorrow!
