House May Block Food Safety Bill Over Senate Error : Roll Call

via House May Block Food Safety Bill Over Senate Error : Roll Call.

Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety bill which gives the  FDA more authority over food regulation, and putting  small food producers out of business,   is hung up due to a violation of congressional authority.   The Senate bill has tax in it.  Taxes are supposed to be initiated in the House.  Whupsie,  Harry Reid screwed up  again.

The house will throw it back to the Senate, and they’ll have to rework it.  This would normally require the cooperation of the republicans.

Maybe the bill will DIE this year.  One can only hope.

Though Steve Miller, of Clarkston Georgia sought and gained rezoning for his organic produce farm,  Dekalb county officials are still going after him for growing too many vegetables.  They are prosecuting him and intend to fine him $5000 for the now defunct zoning problem.

See how easy it is to contact the Dekalb County Board of Commissioners?  All their emails are right HERE!

So….. this man’s problem- which is currently just with his own county- ought to be made into a  national issue, because it doesn’t stop in Georgia.  The Feds wish to do similar things  to all of us  too.
