162. Monsanto and their spawns are very afraid of "labels".. they also do not want to tell

us on Kaua'i what the name of the poisons are that they use in their sprays. We won that battle with Bill 2491 after a Veto from the Mayor and an override by our Council.. but they are taking it to court. They also didn't like the buffer zones the Bill requires to keep them away from schools and hospitals.

"Bill 2491 will require heavy users of restricted use pesticides, primarily the biotech companies, to disclose what pesticides they are spraying, where and in what quantities. The law also requires farmers to report to the county any genetically altered crops that they are growing, and it creates buffer zones between fields sprayed with pesticides and schools, parks, medical facilities and private residences. The county will also be required to study whether pesticides are harming the environment or the health of residents. Employees of biotech companies can be fined or jailed for violating pesticide disclosure requirements and buffer zones."
