Legislative Response

There are several bills bubbling up in the Indiana legislature this winter, as several of the commenters to this blog have noted. They run the gamut from CAFO moratoriums to additional limits on local counties regulating factory farms. The Pal-Item has an article up today about some of them:

Three wide-ranging bills targeting the state’s largest livestock farms are expected to draw spirited testimony Monday from supporters and opponents when they go before a Senate panel.
Sen. Beverly Gard, who chairs the Senate’s environmental affairs committee, is sponsoring the most sweeping of the bills — one that would significantly increase permit fees for new livestock farms to help the state hire more inspectors to monitor the farms for violations.
