Letter to the editor:
"Monsantoman" Clifton Tsuji does it again!
Shame on State Rep. Clift Tsuji. chair of the House Agricultural
committee. For the 2nd year in a row he killed a bill (HB 2564) that
would have created buffer zones around schools to protect against
pesticide drift. What kind of a person won't protect kids from
pesticide poisoning. As a former banker, and "biotech legislator of the
year," he appears more concerned about chemical company profits than
protecting the common good, including children's health and safety.
Tsuji brings shame on the entire Hilo district that he claims to
represent. Come on Hilo --stand up for the kids. Send Tsuji packing.
Let him go back to work for the bank instead of being a tax paid mascot
for Monsanto and other special corporate interests. According to the
Hawaii Campaign spending commission for the current election period
2014-2016, Monsanto was Clifton Tsuji's largest campaign donor by twice
the amount of his 2nd place donor, and not one donation came from the
Hilo district that he supposedly represents as far as I could see on the
list of donors. Most came from Bishop street and Manoa Valley in
Honolulu. How come?
