I support the proposal
 

I feel strongly that the state needs to adopt this larger list of invasive species that are having a huge negative impact on our ecosystem. I support recommendations to include English ivy and stiltgrass.

The state also needs to provide more funding to help eradicate invasive plants. I support adding a tax on the sale of plants in the list to be used to help fund the eradication of invasive plant species. I support allowing trained certified volunteers to use herbicides.

i also support not allowing any state funds to be used to plant anything on the list.
