I got this email about the pesticide spraying from an OTBKB reader.

Dear OTBKB,

I read your blog and saw your alert about the Pesticide spraying the
other day.

I followed the spray trucks throughout the streets that night in a friend’s car and I, who have been against this spraying since it started, was beyond astounded at what I witnessed.  Children & families sitting on stoops, teenagers playing basketball, people walking their dogs, people eating in restaurants on Fifth  Avenue, all sprayed by New York City’s spray trucks and doused with pesticides.

I think you should look here (link below) as to what really went on. I think you could do a great job letting others know what New York City is *really* doing when they say they are spraying communities with pesticides.
