Pesticide protection bill split Upstate and NYC areas
State Senate opponents DeFrancisco and Hoffmann backed a party line vote to block Upstate residents from the Neighbor Notification bill. The package would require notice to neighbors before pesticide applications on trees and shrubs, but Upstate counties were left with no opt in while NYC, Long Island, and Westchester could join. An amendment to restore Upstate opt in failed.
