Assembly Members Earn
ALBANY, N.Y. The

Bureau recently offered high
praise to several assemblymem
bers for bucking the emotion of
the moment and voting “no” on a
flawed pesticide reporting bill.
According to N.Y. Farm Bur
eau President John Lincoln. “We
applaud all of those Assembly
members who had the political
courage to support science over
emotion. Though they know that
finding the cause of the terrible
disease of breast cancer is vitally
important, they realize that the
pesticide recordkeeping and re
porting bill would only burden
farmers without achieving its

Meeting June 30 in Strongs

board.
Eastern Best is a Northeast sup

• includes no funding for a state

“Due to changing market condi
