S 510 : Testor Amendment Means Nothing

• The PPJ Gazette
Lynn Swearingen (c) copyright 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED The Testor Amendment. – It’ll free my direct sales to consumers. Or so the “opposition” to S. 510 seems to be saying now. Once I started reading this, “shock kept me up all night” would be an understatement. Attempting to understand the logic behind the argument that somehow Legislators and AgriBusiness lobbyists are now “backing down” from the onerous control methods that have been written, fought for, and negotiated since the introduction of S. 510 in March of 2009 – I became even more confused. Why suddenly would Sally Sunshine be allowed to sell her Strawberries to Safeway with no “involvement” under S 510?
