Cities Prepping to Sue Over Insect Spraying

Berkeley may be joining several other NorCal cities in suing the state over aerial pesticide spraying.  UC Berkeley's Daily Cal reported this week that the Berkeley council voted to give the city attorney authority to join with cities including Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, Oakland and San Francisco in coordinating a lawsuit to halt spraying aimed at eradicating the light brown apple moth, also known as LBAM (seriously) or Epiphyas postvittana for you entomologists.
