Another example of more balanced reporting from Berkeleyside article:Read More http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/05/17/uc-berkeley-seeks-funds-to-cut-down-22000-non-native-trees/. Some of the comments are useful especially about glyphosphate. The author of the article even used his own name.

The source cited in this announcement states up to 1,400 gallons of herbicide possibly includingRead More Roundup might be used rather than 14,000 gallons of Roundup will be used. Not that I am in favor of dosing the environment with petrochemicals, but I do like to make decisions based on facts. I also have to wonder about the accuracy of the source given that it is an opinion piece rather than an article.

If you are upset about how the rightwing has been attacking President Obama with lies and hyperbole,Read More you should be just as upset about how the Green Tea Baggers of OTF are attacking Albany. Their attempt to derail plans we citizens negotiated and agreed to will harm our schools and our quality of life if it succeeds.
