Noxious weed classification
 

Please, Gentlewomen and Gentlemen, this needs to be passed. A little over twenty years ago I bought a piece of property that has several plants on this list but by far the Kudzu is the worst. I have spent thousands out of pocket to eradicate this plant and yet it spreads. I reached out to my local extension office and received no response. Maybe if these are added to the list I could finally receive some guidance from the state to control this mess. The number of native trees and other plants that have died from this is baffling, but I think with a little help many of us could bring it under control. Thanks, Mike.
