I believe that this bill needlessly politicizes scientific decisionmaking. and I fear that we are setting ourselves up for many unsound policy choices as a result. I am not only motivated by the harms this bill will have on the plant and animal species. but by the threat to the health and wellbeing of the human species as well. The pesticide provisions of this bill seem to indicate a willingness to endanger the lives of migrant and seasonal farmworkers. their families. and their children. This weakening of pesticide standards poses a serious threat to public health. and I cannot support any bill that does not take seriously the health and safety of the American public. We also do a disservice to the American people when we are not wise stewards of their taxpayer dollars.
