In today’s edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, Representative Bob Gibbs (R-OH) – chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, joins managing editor of Environment & Climate News H. Sterling Burnett to talk about the Zika virus and potential solutions to dealing with this issue.
Representative Gibbs has been pushing legislation lately that would allow spraying to kill mosquitoes potentially carrying the Zika virus, as well as other tropical diseases. You would think this bill would be a slam dunk, but this is not the case. Radical environmentalists have opposed this life saving bill due to false fears raised about water pollution.
