A good opinion article in today's Trib.
By Curtis Beck
Well, we cannot say we didn’t see this coming. Fresh off her successful gambit to remove the word from the county’s budgetary lexicon, Margaret Wille and her rag-tag band of enviro-alarmist supporters have just rolled out the next salvo in the “War on Roundup”(also known as glyphosphate).
"The opening salvo was to rename a county budget item from Roundup to the more bureaucratic-sounding term, “vegetation management.” Now that the public has been mesmerized by this use of politically correct sleight-of-hand, Bill 71 will re-define the term “vegetation management,” as it relates to the county’s weed control efforts, to exclude the use of its most cost-effective management tool."
