It

has just, Ladera Ranch is a really gorgeous, beautiful community.

And to find out, you know, like as a father that, you know, like, oh my God, maybe my kids, I haven't been protecting them like I should have for the last 10 years because I didn't even know about what was being sprayed in our community.

So it's kind of, you know, it's, It's a surprise to us, and I think it's a surprise to a lot of residents.

Sadly, the first wave that you guys initiated didn't catch on, and here we are with the second wave, and we're still seeing, it's a slow process.

There has been progress, but it's still a slow process.

As of the last HOA meeting two weeks ago, they really punted making a decision on this until the end of the year.

And then John, what do you need? Is the next step for you testing and then just kind of getting the funding for testing? And that would be kind of what you're focused on right now?

How is it impacting the community?

The community is alarmed.

And what I've seen from my perspective is I've seen a lot of different groups pop up on social media.

And there's a lot of discussion on social media and a lot of concern.

And we've, up until recently, we haven't been able to get a lot of progress in having our concerns acknowledged.

And something we just had in Ledea Ranch on Tuesday night was a public forum.

And the point of this public forum was to bring in all of these groups that are all working.

Six that

I mean, to me, that points to something in the soil.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, I've seen that and I've heard that from folks.

I did see your post.

You know, they're the canary in the coal mine, the pets.

They're closest to the ground.

That's why we're very suspicious about the pesticides.

And I, and we all know how that ended for me personally, but speak a little bit to like what you guys do on the civic council, just as representatives of the general volunteer representatives and why it's important for people to know you need to know what's going on in your community.
