Q. Please describe the issue
A. My parents live on Irene Street in Chicopee and were recently notified that they are going to be spraying herbicide next to their house. My parents already have pre cancer and these chemicals are not good for them to be breathing in. There should be no need for this since they recently installed those super tall electric lines. The weeds under that will never reach a fraction of that height. I think this is unnecessary and a hazard for the neighborhood and the wildlife. There is a stream / brook there that will also be poisoned. They already spoke to someone and it seemed to do no good so I thought I would try.
