Aerial spraying

Mr. Richard Watson, first of all, Klukwan is not going to spray
their poison to control disease or infestation, they are trying
to spray so that the green trees will grow faster so that they
can cut them down and have money coming into their Corporation.
They have used their Corporation foolishly and now have to try
to grow the trees fast for the MONEY. If you know anything about
trees,you would know that the alders provide the nutrients for
the green trees to grow.
True it is DEC's right to issue
permits for spraying but would you allow them to spray poison
from a HELICOPTER near your home? And the amount of Round up
that is sold in Wal-mart is no where NEAR what they are going
to spray.
I didn't see you at the meeting
when we met with DEC and Klukwan, EPA and FDA folks. We were
TOLD THE FACTS and that is why we are opposing. Allow them to
spray around your home before they do ours.
Have you or any of your family
had CANCER? I have so I know what it is all about. I know what
this poison will do to us.
