Hawaii County Council votes to Ban future GMO Crops

Published by jalbertini on November 19th, 2013 in Farm, GMO, Public Events, Social Justice, Take Action!.

Aloha,
The vote was 6-3to ban future GMO crops in Hawaii County and now goes to the Mayor for signing, allowing it to become law in 10 days without his signature or he can veto the bill.  A veto override would require 6 votes by the council.
See the article by the Hawaii Tribune-Herald at the link below.
It’s been an uphill battle. The testimony has been impressive from a broad cross section of our community.
Pleass pass the word.  Mahalo.
Jim
