Much noise and fury, signifying nothing. Or is it "pick your battles"?
I don't believe the County (or State) have sufficient standing to regulate GMO labeling; debating anything that even remotely involves "interstate commerce" is a waste of time and effort which only invites a lawsuit that will be lost (more time/money).
Posting signs about pesticide use, and maintaining a "buffer zone" around schools (think of the children!) are somewhat less unreasonable, and more importantly, involve activities that happen strictly within the County (or State).
Tea-party style "voting for the best slogan" makes a mockery of the very principles upon which America was founded. At least until tonight's episode of The Voice.
