FYI, I sent the following letter (below, and a much longer one, attached) to NYC Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, regarding the ongoing pesticides spraying in Brooklyn and Queens. ------------------------------- Attached is a letter outlining some of the egregious errors the City is making with regard to the process by which they came to begin pesticides spraying in 2011, and some requests for intervention on the part of the Public Advocate. I will send a follow-up email with all of the citations to documents I refer to in the above. I am also cc-ing NY State Assemblyman William Colton, who had faxed a letter 2-1/2 weeks ago to the NYC Department of Health but who has received no reply whatsoever. That kind of treatment, alone, of the best Assemblyman in New York is incredibly arrogant and worthy of investigation. Thank you!
