Portland presses ahead with plan to ban most pesticides

A City Council committee has signed off on a pesticide restriction ordinance in Maine’s largest city. City officials say Portland’s ordinance would align the city with neighboring South Portland and other communities around the state and country that restrict synthetic pesticide use. They say the goal of the ordinance is to reduce exposure to residents, pets and wildlife. The City Council’s Sustainability & Transportation Committee unanimously approved the ordinance after a public hearing on Thursday.
