In reply to the discussion: Mayor Vetos Anti-GMO Bill and Kaua'i Council Overides It! [View all]Cha
(319,168 posts)7. Mason Chock~ Environmental Hero, she!
"When speaking with the mayor during Saturdays meeting, Chock, owner of the outdoor education company Kauai Team Challenge, said he is typically an advocate of less is more.
However, lets call this overcompensation for what could be, and err on the side of safety here, to continue to do more than less, he said.
Chock also discussed the divisiveness of the bill and how it has fractured our community.
My hope is that my action today will be a catalyst for healing to begin, he said. I believe healing will not begin in this issue and will not go away until we unfold the truth, and validate the concerns being questioned.
News on the ground says people are getting sick with all the spraying on the West Side of Kaua'i and something needed to be done.
That's two great things for Hawai'i this month, she!
