Kauai mayor vetoes measure to limit pesticides
Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. vetoed a bill Thursday that would require large agribusinesses to disclose the type of pesticides they spray on fields and implement buffer zones around schools, dwellings and medical facilities.
Bill 2491 would have required agribusinesses that purchase or use more than five pounds or 15 gallons of restricted use pesticides annually to disclose all types of pesticides they spray on their fields and to implement buffer zones near schools, dwellings,michael kors grayson small, medical facilities, public roadways, shorelines and waterways.
"I have always said I agree with the intent of this bill to provide for pesticide use disclosure, create meaningful buffer zones and conduct a study on the health and environmental issues relating to pesticide use on Kaua'i," Carvalho said in a news release. "However, I believe strongly that this bill is legally flawed. That being the case,louboutin black suede booties, I had no choice but to veto."
Under the bill, agricultural companies would have been required to provide annual reports of genetically modified crops grown on fields to the Office of Economic Development and state Department of Agriculture. The information would have been posted on the county website.
Agribusinesses also would have been required to disclose where the genetically modified crops were being grown and dates of when each crop was initially planted,authentic christian louboutin shoes website.
Companies affected by the bill would have included Syngeta Hawaii, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences and BASF as well as Kauai Coffee, the largest coffee grower in the state.
The Kauai County Council has 30 days from today to override the veto, but it was not immediately clear what action the council will take. "The decision of the council to override the veto has yet to be determined," Council Chairman Jay Furfaro said this afternoon.
The council voted 6 1 to approve Bill 2491 in the early morning hours of Oct. 16 after a marathon public hearing.
Before the council's vote, Carvalho requested a one month deferral to hold discussions with the state on the enforcement of the bill's disclosure and buffer zones. Council Chairman Jay Furfaro said he would not support a deferral, saying there was no logical reason to do so.
The final draft of the bill sent to the mayor's office for approval focused on regulating pesticide use by agribusinesses,fake louboutin shoes for sale.
Councilmen Gary Hooser and Tim Bynum co introduced the bill in June in response to ongoing community concerns of pesticide exposure,christian louboutin big lips 120mm leather pumps black.
Biotech companies favor Hawaii's year round warm climate, enabling them to grow three crops per year compared to one in Illinois. Company officials say they are already regulated by the state and federal level and the county lacks the resources to enforce the ordinance. Biotech representatives who testified at meetings also said the ordinance would signicantly hamper the farming industry. It's ironic that smokers can not be within 20 feet of public businesses and schools yet the county can spray roundup anywhere on school grounds and on public property randomly with very little regard to public safety. cell phone usage and texting while driving,michael kors handbags cheap, public drinking on state beaches, speeding, etc.) yet this law is "unenforceable". What is at issue here, in particular, is the health of the general public versus money from some very large corporations going into very deep political pockets. It's obvious that greed wins all the time. I salute the people of Kauai for fighting this battle and hope that the rest of those of us who really care about each other continue fighting. Hope the same does not happen on our island, Moku O Keawe where we are fighting the same battle.
on October 31,2013 12:34PMYour claims are absolutely false. Each pesticide that is applied has a lengthy set of instructions know as a label, which is actually a booklet that covers everything from how to mix and apply the pesticide to restrictions on wind speeds above which the pesticide cannot be sprayed. No health and safety complaints have ever been brought, other than dust created by plowing (and there is no evidence that there is anything more than dirt blowing off the fields). We know from studies conducted by the Kauai County Water Department,strong chrisitan louboutin replica, the State Department of Health and the University of Hawaii, in conjunction with the Kauai County Health Department that there were no pesticides present at Waimea Canyon Middle School,michael kors handbags cheap wholesale, no higher incidence of cancer or other health problems in West Kauai where the farms are primarily located, and no dangerous amounts of chemicals in ground water. In fact, atrazine, a mild pesticide that receives a lot press,christian louboutin fifi glitter, hasn't been found in any water studies on Kauai in any amount since 2005. A lot of sound and fury has been spewed out on this bill. The Kauai local community are fed up with outsiders (CERES, Hawaii Seeds,where to buy michael kors purses in canada, Earth Justince Center of Food safety, Babes for Biotech, Walter Ritte and the list goes on and on) influencing the Kauai transplants to push their extreme anti GMO pesticide agenda and mob mentality attitude. IMUA Bernard! you got my vote.

Now, that vitamin enhanced Golden Rice, a biotech crop, has been approved in the Philippines there is real hope that childhood blindness caused by vitamin deficiency will be dramatically reduced. Well fed environmental extremists try to prevent these benefits from being realized in their misguided crusade. Read more about it here:
You mean outsiders with lots of money to own the government or do you mean the "local" businesses like Syngeta Hawaii, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences and BASF? And let's not forget Monsanto. Farmers will soon realize that they will be forced to buy GMO seeds from corporate seed companies because their seeds can no longer produce crops. We won't even be able to grow our own food due to cross pollination with GMO crops. Why is it that the rest of the world see's this and we don't?

We're a tourist state service workers and that's the way it is unless we give industry some room. Our Democratic politics are tax and spend someone has to work to get the taxes!!! We need a lottery and the cancellation of the Jones Act or we will not survive. Like Detroit and Chicago liberal Democratic cities that gave and gave to the unions, we have pensions sitting for our futures that we can't possible meet. Cheap Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys
