				<p><strong>Grist Headline Wrong</strong></p><p>From the first sentence of the Santa Cruz Sentinel article: &nbsp;"The state will not be allowed to spray pesticide over Santa Cruz County in June after a judge ordered California leaders to complete an environmental review first."</p><p>
This ruling only applies to Santa Cruz County, which is not in the Bay Area. &nbsp;The Bay Area is still at risk. &nbsp;I have been trying to find out whether any Bay Area cities (San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley) are also planning to sue, but have only gotten an answer from a press intermediary from the SF city attorney's office saying that they're confident that because a lawsuit here would raise the same facts and issues as the Santa Cruz suit, it would be politically unfeasible to spray here without first doing environmental review. &nbsp;That's not at all sufficient as far as I'm concerned, and I might organize a private lawsuit if a city doesn't step up.</p>
