CAFO Rules

The Joplin Globe (12/07/08) reported in today's paper that new Missouri State Representative Tom Flanigan Carthage, MO (District 127), is quoted as saying he will sponsor legislation aimed at tougher state response to odor problems. Rep Flannigan was quoted in The Carthage Press (12/01/08), "the one piece of legislation I want to introduce is the reintroduction of Senate Bill 738, the original bill. It deals with companies that take animal parts and turn them into petroleum products and odor violations". The Jopin Globe article, Revision Call For No Change reports on the Missouri Air Conservation Commission's decision not to change the rules regarding odor volations in Missouri.
