Please Help - Window for change in city's chemical policy

[We have received this from Justin Mitchell and are pleased to publish it on his behalf.]

April 13 at 6:00pm, the city parks board will be reviewing the current city's policy of applying synthetic chemicals to Lake Winnebago along Menominee Park - chemicals that are listed by the US Gov as hazardous, and a policy which is short sighted and irresponsible at best.

I posted a piece on this issue here: www.mainstreetoshkosh.com.

Please take a look. It is really important that we get as many folks as possible to either attend this meeting, or send an email to city staff voicing their opposition of chemical applications to our water. City contact is included in the main street oshkosh post.

This won't take more than 5-7 minutes of your time, but will greatly help our city take a big step forward towards responsible, sustainable government.

Please also forward to any of your groups and contacts. Support from student groups and community agencies would be huge in this effort!

Thanks much!

Justin
