Tester Expresses Disgust over Burns’ Vote to Allow Pesticide Testing
“I’ve been a farmer my whole life,� said Big Sandy farmer Jon Tester.
“I inherited this land from my family, and provide for my children and grandchild on this land. I know firsthand the harms of pesticides and find it irresponsible that Senator Burns would allow pesticides to be tested on children and pregnant women.�
As a farmer, Tester decided to stop using pesticides because of the negative effect on his family and farm.
“Montanans don’t want to be guinea pigs for pesticides,� Tester said. “And we expect our representatives in Washington, D.C., to do better. This is a major lapse in moral judgment and just shows how out of touch Conrad Burns is with Montana.�
It’s time for a change in Washington, and Jon Tester promises he’ll never compromise the safety of Montanans.
