Campaigning via chemicals?

Pat Powers

From this morning’s Argus Leader, Lora Hubbel’s friend and Mitchell Mayoral candidate Tara Volesky might have gotten herself in hot (but algae free) water:

The city of Mitchell is asked state environmental officials to investigate after a mayoral candidate had something dumped into Lake Mitchell to address a chronic blue-green algae problem.

and..

Volesky acknowledged to The Daily Republic that she had something dumped into the lake as an alternative treatment method. She says it’s “all natural” and is already working.

  2. So a person who aggressively defends and supports an anti-vaxer, chemtrail-believing, tinfoil-hat-wearing, conspiracy theorist and perpetual candidate thinks it’s a good idea to just dump random things into a large body of water without having it go through formal approval?

    The irony is thick.

  3. From the world of conspiracy theories and Anti-Science wondering what she or they threw into that public water body without authorization that many recreate on and in. Where did they get it from some crazy website?

  5. never would have thought that the “what’s in our water?!” crowd would actually be responsible for putting stuff in our water. The a writes itself here, folks. Hahaha

  6. Can’t be any worse then what the farmers and ranchers pump into our waterways. Maybe we should include a tax on producers to clean up their mess because they insist on farming every square inch rather than creating natural buffers and filtration to keep their chemicals out of our waterways.

      1. They do, but that requires people to actually care about the environment and our quality of life….over money. Greed is the source of most problems in the country, and this is one of them.

  7. Many of the lakes and ponds have thick green algae in the summer. It’s not healthy for humans or marine life.

    The cause – chemicals and fertilizers and animal waste getting into the creeks and streams and rivers.

    Think twice before letting your children swim or eat fish from the lakes. It’s a toxic soup.

  8. Lock Her Up!! Kooks like VoleSky can’t be allowed to break the law with impunity. She thinks it’s working, so she’ll do it again, in an important lake.
