Mosquito abatement program

Opposed the program over questionable effectiveness, lack of resident input, late-night spraying notifications, and the lack of an opt-out process like other communities use.

Said APM sprayed at four locations despite his opt-out stakes last year, and asked for enforcement or a no vote; also listed the area's abundance of gas stations.

Described illness from nighttime spraying, cited JAMA and MSU studies on pesticide harms, and pleaded with the council to preserve her freedom of choice by rejecting the program.

APM's general manager defended the program, saying opt-out buffers exist, the company complies with all Michigan Department of Agriculture laws, and larvicide alone can't kill adult mosquitoes.
