There is such hypocrisy from DES on this issue.
On the one hand under the shoreland protection act they have taken almost all my property rights in the name of water protection. On the other hand they actively support dumping herbicide with a danger label directly into the lake. This year they dumped more of this stuff that ever before. Now there is a proposal to make me pay to have this done?
Wow!

The product has been proven to be safe. You are exposed to countless chemicals in your daily life but choose to focus on this one. What suggestions do you have to make the problem better?
The State is trying to do its best to control milfoil. All I hear is people complain about who should pay for it, how it should be used, etc. Stop whining folks I am getting a headache.
