Md. Senate - We want chicken $hit in the bay
I believe no industry has the right to dispose of waste as cheaply as possible especially if there is environmental damage to our natural resources. I realize that chicken farms and Perdue are big industry on the eastern shore but still there has to be some limits on what they can do. But it is outrageous that the Senate is essentially threatening University of Maryland's environmental law clinic because of their law suit alleging that waste running off a farm near Berlin, Md is fouling the Pocomoke River.
"... but it's still a pretty big abridgment of academic freedom," Frosh said Friday. He said the language amounted to a threat: "If you guys are getting involved in issues that we don't like, or you're bothering people that we do like, we want you to shut up."
If what's going on is against the law then the Senate's reaction is shameful. If it is someone we like then arbitrate to get the problem fixed and maintain good relations we should never let our law makers make laws so the privileged few can break laws.
