Committee of shame

politicalfriendster.com

Four CA counties enacted ordinances restricting genetically modified seeds in their counties. This was done democratically with hard-fought battles against the likes of Monsanto and friends.

On June 28, 2006, the Democrat-controlled Assembly Committee on Agriculture has voted to pass a bill SB 1056 onto the full Assembly. This bill is likely to be heard in August. The bill if passed by the legislature, would overturn the wish of these counties, and worse, take away the rights of local counties to exercise control over biotech in their own communities.

What can possibly allow such a piece of legislation to get passed by the committee? I mean, have they heard of the will of the people? Or is it that the pockets of the agri-lobby are so deep, they couldn't resist dipping their grubby little fingers in them?

See who makes up this committee of shame.
