This link gives an example of Roundup being declared a restricted use
chemical; (can anyone from this part of the country comment?):

Not being from Franklin County I won't comment on that particular
jurisdiction's actions, but local ordinances can sometimes be driven by
vocal pressure groups, rather than science and careful thought. I have more
faith in regulations passed at the national or state/province level where
the process is (hopefully) subject to more rigour and informed debate.

Dave, you may be interested then in what Denmark has done:

Interesting. They found that it might be retained in clay soils. This is the
kind of serious study we need. But doesn't sound too scary, particularly for
casual garden use..
