will idaho congressional leadership continue to pander to big business with this frisky business . . .
residents near Filer, Idaho learned that their community is subjected to over a hundred tons of toxic pollution from a mega-dairy when the Desert Rose Dairy became the first dairy in the nation to report their emissions of toxic chemicals under the Community Right to Know and Superfund laws. This dairy reported that it alone released at least 130 tons of ammonia to the air in 2003.
anyone that has ever driven through southern idaho can tell you that not only is it flat - it's smelly as hell - and it hasn't always been that way. it is only over the last few years with the development of Mega-Farms that it's happened. this certainly seems like it is working in opposition to Kempthorne's "World Class Tourist Destination" goals to me . . . thankfully the court and other legislators in Congress have put a kink in Craigs' plans - so far at least.
