My favorite part? Someone on the GMO committee bothered to ask the State whether the rules would be enforceable, the State gave a wishy-washy non-answer, so the request was withdrawn, and the GMO legislation continues to move forward.
I'm pretty sure the County doesn't have the authority to regulate, and the State could have saved everyone's time/money by clarifying that issue; as it is, everyone seems content to watch the County waste its time passing laws that cannot be enforced later -- after all, why should anyone try to save taxpayer dollars, least of all the State?
Note that this entire issue is a completely separate problem that has nothing to do with GMO itself, and could be equally applied to many County/State activities: "Sure, do whatever you want, we'll get around to saying NO after your money is spent."
