State agriculture board delays pesticide law revisions
The state agriculture board voted to delay implementing Chapter 29 pending a lawsuit seeking a statewide environmental impact statement on the pesticide regulation revisions. Thomas Dawson, allied with Citizens for a Better Environment, argued the delay was a tactic. The rules would require local notice before aerial spraying, with 18 public hearings cited as an environmental review.

Only one spoke in favor, Spooner businessman Christian Fox, who argued the changes would boost mining activity and jobs. Opponents said groundwater protection and compensation for contaminated wells were inadequate, noting a proposed 75000 damage claim limit and concerns over long term mine pollution liability from operators.
