I...A cliffhanger. I'll look forward to part 2.<br /><br />I recently had what might be termed politely a "run in" with our HOA about the application of chemical treatments to our lawns (we have a townhouse) with no notice to us and no warning signs posted thereafter. A baby and two dogs (one, ours, who now has neurological damage) became sick because we had no idea chemicals had been applied. Four times this happened (each time admitted after the fact), even after some of us requested no chemical applications of any kind. I wrote to our county about this problem. The county board assigned a staffer to research and held a meeting/hearing. Unfortunately, the county lacks authority under state law (VA) to enact an ordinance requiring notice and flagging. I've gotten nowhere with the state. I'm thinking only a public campaign might, might, get action. <br /><br />Concrete. Transparent. We can be poisoned and do nothing about it.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-29766124009521795412010-09-20T09:10:00.454-05:002010-09-20T09:10:00.454-05:00Yes, brilliant indeed!

We call our little valley "chemical valley" and I believe Carbide still produces that same substance that killed all those poor people in Bhopal just up the road from me. <br /><br />I have to say, Kudos to the CEO in this circumstance. Sometimes it's scary to do the right thing. Transparency. It's pretty rock solid.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.com
