    This is you Bayer, not Monsanto. You can’t blame it on them this time because you bought them. That was a stupid argument anyway.:

    “The EPA is allowing Bayer to choose its preferred measures to limit dicamba’s damage as if it was ordering up a late-night dinner à la carte from Chili’s,” Donley said. “It becomes troublesome when the EPA allows them to regulate themselves by choosing the mitigations.”

    The Center for Biological Diversity and the Center for Food Safety brought the lawsuit. The documents come as the EPA has faced criticism for stacking its leadership with industry veterans. The top four toxics office positions at the EPA are held by former chemical industry leaders, including Kyle Kunkler, a former pesticide industry lobbyist who is now a deputy assistant administrator and oversees the pesticides program.
