that Oregon\u2019s Democrats have made of the legislature.<br><br>\n\nAfter a few \u201ccourtesies\u201d including  <a hhref=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/manning\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Senator Manning\u2019s <\/a>\u201ccourtesy\u201d to another social justice warrior, (we think that was what he was doing) a grim looking Senate President Rob Wagner again dismissed the Senate for lack of a quorum. Manning\u2019s \u201ccourtesy\u201d  <a hrerf=\"https:\/\/olis.oregonlegislature.gov\/liz\/mediaplayer?clientID=4879615486&eventID=2023051226&startStreamAt=264&stopStreamAt=339\">can be enjoyed here..<\/a><br><br>\n\n(Manning\u2019s legislative staffer is Miles Pendleton. While that sounds like a white preppie from Connecticut, young Miles is actually the president of the Eugene NAACP.  He was trotted out by the crackpots behind Ballot Measure 114 to shill for them when OFF was invited to debate the issue on KPTV. None of the people actually behind the measure would appear. Pendleton, as you might imagine, demonstrated a comical lack of knowledge about the measure and predictably accused OFF of being racist.).<br><br>\n\nFor Republicans in the Oregon House however, it was business as usual and they continue to show up to pass Democrat bills.  And once again, Republican Kim Wallan asked that the rules be suspended so the bills they were passing for the Democrats could be voted on without reading them..<br><br>\n\nWhile most Senate Republicans have made enormous sacrifices to defend your rights the House Republicans seem determined to move the Democrat agenda forward as quickly as possible.\n.<br><br>\nAs you know, two Republicans recently voted to attack self defense and your Second Amendment rights by voting to pass <a

However, -1 amendment stops all operations upon renewal of license until adequate study is completed and addressed through laws and rules. It is written as if the study was already shown to need restrictions, so any study will be geared towards controlling CAFO, and not an objective study of what they are already doing right. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality and the State Department of Agriculture to not issue or renew a license or permit to allow the construction or operation of new industrial CAFO, additions or expansion of existing CAFO, or additions or expansions of existing livestock farm that would cause it to become an industrial CAFO. The definition of CAFO would apply to any large farming operation. The supporters of this bill do not understand farming operations or how much this would impact the food chain. Food prices are high now, this bill affects beef, pork, dairy, chickens, laying hens, turkeys, ducks, milk, cheese, eggs and all the by-products.
