Breaking News: Migden’s Moratorium Passes Senate Ag Committee

Today, Carol Migden’s Moratorium Senate Resolution SRC 87 passed the Senate Ag Committee and will now move on to be heard by the full senate. The Resolution passed 4-0.

Basically, this Resolution would halt the spraying until further testing is done. My thought is that it might buy us a little more time to ensure that whatever testing is done is not being done by CDFA’s allies.

I know everyone will be really glad to read this good news. Goodness knows, we need some, and we thank Carol Migden for her strong efforts to protect the innocent people of California from this aerial assault on our families.

UPDATE: MORE GOOD NEWS!

    hi mim,

    your link to the twist tie story isn’t working for me. i wondered if you had something to do with that good news.

    Ooops! Thank you so much for catching that, Donna. The link is fixed now.

    I can’t claim to have brought this thing in Sonoma about, though we did distribute some materials.

    Sounds to me like a water commission or something may have stepped forward and suggested that these endangered shrimp will be harmed by the so-called ’safe’ twist ties.

    What do you know about that!

    What a great day. Two pieces of good news. Let’s have more of this.
    That was my thought too, Donna. I thought Mim must have had something to do with this!
    Take care and enjoy this moment both of you.

    Oh, has anybody noticed that the CDFA’s slide show has one slide of a slightly damaged apple with a subtitle saying it’s a tomato? When that comes from Kawamura and friends, and apparently hasn’t been noticed, it doesn’t inspire confidence! Oh well, it was good for a laugh.

    Hi Mary Anne!
    You’re right. This was a good day. We surely do appreciate some good news.

    A tomato? Hahaha. That is pretty funny. Thanks for the heads up on that.

    Nice to see you here, as always!
    Mim

    that is indeed an apple, very funny. they don’t know what tomatoes or entomologists are but they’re here to save the world.
