Pesticide Showdown at the California Appellate Court

with

Frank Egger and Stephan Volker

Marin County became the epicenter to stop aerial pesticide spraying in California in 2008 and 2009. And, it’s not over.

Frank Egger and attorney Stephen Volker have been fighting this long, expensive batter since 2007, which ended up in both Federal and State Courts. Elected officials from San Francisco and Monterey Bay Area counties, including Richmond mayor Gayle BcLaughlin and former Fairfax mayor Frank Egger never gave up.

Hear the behind the scene story of this epic battle over pesitcide spraying that will be decided by the 3rd District Appellate Court very soon. Be part of history, help us get to the finish line.
