Letter: Shame on Rep. Clifton Tsuji
Shame on Rep. Clift Tsuji from Hawaii island for killing the bill for pesticide buffer zones around schools, HB1514. What kind of person won’t protect kids from pesticide poisoning? And it’s reported that as House Ag committee chair, he even cut off testimony from people who flew from neighbor islands to testify. How low can a politician go? Tsuji unfortunately has become a mascot for corporate special interests, even given the dubious distinction of Biotech legislator of the year. He should now be given the “poison award” by school children throughout Hawaii. As a former banker, now politician, Tsuji deserves to be publicly shamed and exposed as a legislator that acts against the common good, including children’s health and safety.
