REMINDER: ALL the law said was (1) they have to disclose WHAT they are spraying; (2) give notice WHEN they spray; and (3) cannot spray near people, residences, businesses, schools, etc.

They are using Kauai as ground zero. That they do NOT want to disclose what they are spraying is damning. They are destroying the land, the coral and poisoning the people.

Fuck the residents. Rich people far away need to get richer. valerief Aug 2014 #1
