Indiana Senate has CAFO Moratorium Bill
Indiana State Senator Allen Paul has introduced Senate Bill 50 which would place a moratorium on the start of construction of concentrated animal feeding operations for a period of three years beginning this June 30th.Paul represents several rural counties in eastern Indiana where CAFOs have been of concern to some residents. Chances of this bill passing are unknown. Like many states this year, the primary concern for the Indiana General Assembly is budgetary. The legislative body adjourns April 29th.
We need a moratorium on the introduction of all CAFO bills! They wouldn't complain if Toyota or GM wanted to build new facilities. Go to http://www.in.gov/legislative/ and find all the bills being introduced in 2009.
