Action | CH 0320 Amendments to the list of endangered or threatened plant and insect species |
Stage | NOIRA |
Comment Period | Ended on 7/8/2009 |
1.The proposed list does not contain plants and insects UNIQUE to Virginia. Unless all other states join in, why should Virginia be responsible for these bugs and weeds?
2. Until such time that the economy improves, it is unlikely that citizens are going to go out to purchase plant and insect killer at the levels they may have in the past.
3. During this bad economy, people get angry when the state wastes time and money on NON-URGENT issues. Virginia lawmakers should try to reduce government and UNNECESSARY regulations when families are struggling to feed their families. Preserving these things should be left to the 4H clubs, BoyScouts, etc.
4. Don't you think people in this state have enough to worry about right now? If IRAN nukes us, there won't be any weeds and bugs anyway.
