How do you feel about gypsy moth and emerald ash borer laws?

damn, I didn't even know that moths' and borer's had legislative
branches... how
many laws have they passed??


We have lived with the first for years, though the second is a relatively
new problem. Outright ban now on moving ash from infected areas. Of course,
like environmental law, they're really only enforced on large-scale
operations. Periodically the DEQ will inspect firewood haulers of the
individual type, just as they check and demand draining of your boat after
pulling it from a zebra-mussel infested area. Don't want them in inland
lakes and streams any faster than they can walk by themselves.

Second-guessing legalism and police-bashing aside, it's aimed and will
likely only be enforced against the guy hauling a trailer. Don't know that
it would ever become a primary enforcement item.
