Strange Bedfellows
The Pal-Item runs a piece today on Randolph County commissioner Kathy Beumer, an her husband’s apparent spilt with her decision to support a CAFO moratorium:
Two weeks after his wife made a motion to enact a moratorium preventing more CAFOs from coming to Randolph County, Greg Beumer on Monday asked the board of county commissioners — of which his wife Kathy is a member — to rescind that vote. (The board didn’t.) “I realize this puts some of us in a bit of a difficult position. … But I think the perception is a lot worse than it really is,” said Greg Beumer, executive director of Randolph Economic Development Corp. He said he and his wife simply don’t talk about the issue at home.
