Lake Pend Oreille can't fall victim to 'chemical insanity'

| July 5, 2006 9:00 PM

There are alternatives to the control of the Eurasian Water Milfoil problem that do not require poisons being placed in our waterways. I oppose the poisoning of Lake Pend Oreille and other area waterways.

As a voting taxpayer I demand that those public officials responsible for the decision to use poison give serious consideration to these alternatives. Our waterways are a precious resource and must be protected from this chemical assault.

Once it becomes known, this chemical insanity will also have a negative impact on area tourism and our economy.
