Legislative Black Caucus Introduced Bill to Ban Dairies

In an effort to stop the development of two dairies next to Allensworth State Park the Legislative Black Caucus has introduced Assembly Bill 576 which would make it illegal to operate animal feeding operations within five miles of Park. The bill is scheduled to be heard in committee on March 24th. A 2/3 vote is required to pass the bill.

The complete bill can be read at the Official California Legislative Information web site. The site also lets you send your comments about the bill to the author of the bill, Assembly Member Carter. Rather you are in support or opposed to the bill please visit the site and leave your comments.
