"It would take away our ability to get those weeds under control initially. "The consequences far outweigh the benefits," said [David MacKay], who is also slated to address the hearings tonight.

MacKay's lobby group opposes an urban cosmetic-pesticide ban because it could lead to "paranoia" that may adversely affect farmers' ability to apply chemicals.
