Attorney for Randolph County, John Tanner, is not commenting on the lawsuit filed by Maxwell, Inc. against the county. The county has yet to formally answer the lawsuit, and Tanner cited the pending litigation as the reason he could not further elaborate on the issue of the legality of the county’s CAFO moratorium.
House Bill 1276 has cleared the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee and it on its way to the full senate (it’s already cleared the house). This is the so-called “Tarra’s bill,” which I have previously commented on here.
An aside, I always get a kick out of strange sentencing provisions, like when judges sentence defendants to to put a sign in their yard, or hang a picture up of someone they have hurt. In Valparaiso, Porter County Superior judge David Chidester ordered a woman to keep the remains of her totaled vehicle in her front yard during her 3 years of probation for OWI - She hit another driver and tested .317. link (Indy Star).
