Why does California need impartial third-party review of the spraying of pesticides over our people and homes?

A poll has just been taken of EPA scientists. The findings? Some 900 of them have reported political interference in the functioning of their agency. Read these 2 astonishing (yet weirdly unsurprising) articles:

Every one of us has witnessed the terrible corruption that allowed the people of Monterey and Santa Cruz to be experimented upon with a carcinogenic, mutagenic pesticide which filled their air and their lungs with PM10 pollution, causing hundreds of families to fall ill.

The EPA poll sheds light on what is happening here. Corporations have come to own our politicians, our government, and are being allowed to re-write laws, reports and documents so that their own economic aims are served rather than public or environmental health.

The point is clear. We need experts like these to be involved in the review process that will now determine whether Checkmate or any other pesticide is safe to spray on babies, on children, on adults. We need Daniel Harder and Jeff Rosendale, Larry Rose and Dennis Knepp, Nan Wishner, Robert Leavitt and James Carey, none of whom stand to make millions off the spraying of California’s people, to be in charge of an impartial, truthful review of the pesticide. These are respected scientists, doctors and statisticians who have said ‘no’ to corruption and ‘yes’ to protecting the American people. These are the individuals who deserve to be in charge of the review.

After reading about the incredible corruption of the EPA, after watching CDFA and OEHHA fail miserably in their duties to protect public health, don’t you agree?
