The mosquito that will eat Round Lake

Well its official the village will not be spraying for mosquito's this year. The cost, roughly .00025% of the village budget was deemed a frivolous expense. While fiscal responsibility is a wonderful thing its does strike me as part of the village's responsibility to make life a little easier for all the residents of the community, and a couple of thousand dollars for this might be money well spent.

Of course with the escalating legal bills the village has encountered over the last three years to fight the county over arcane sewer rights (Somewhere north of $600,000 supposedly) they had to cut back somewhere!

In the past I have blogged about mosquitoes. There is an interesting post about exactly what mosquito spraying should be doing for Round Lake, but won't be, sadly.

Is Something Bugging You

The village board approved two mosquito spraying for the village on Tuesday in addition to the numorous ones we have already laid down. This is one of the worst seasons in memory. I wrote about this awhile ago so I won't go into to many more details. As a matter of fact the Daily Herald has an article here about the problem!
