Fining Monsanto $10 million for using a banned pesticide is a light slap on the hand - for a company like that, that’s just the cost of doing business. In a Williamson administration, industrial use of banned pesticides would warrant criminal prosecution.https://www.civilbeat.org/2019/11/monsanto-pleads-guilty-to-using-banned-pesticide/ …

Yes. It is probably a crime under state laws. Not sure about specific federal laws. And Most criminal laws have a 2 year statute of limitations. In Maui, the events happened in 2004 according to the article, and involved a small area.
It’s not about the amount of acreage, it’s about human beings who were exposed. About the fact that they were ordered to go back to work after 14 days when the company knew that they should wait 31 days. And this isn’t about creating new laws; it’s about prosecuting existing ones

I agree with you that it was wrong, it should have been prosecuted timely. I share your concern. And Just this past few weeks we are seeing an outbreak of illness related to unsafe lettuce from California, which one could reasonably suspect may be due to farming practices.

As simplistic as it may be, on my part, shouldn’t we then be better served to share the messaging that Marianne presents with her Whole Health Plan? And her others for that matter.http://Www.marianne2020.com/issues
