Come on Trump. Time to fire some federal employees for harassing citizens.
Comes in a town that voted overwhelmingly for Kankles! I’m very familiar with Butte!
I need to finish my morning coffee, then come back to re-read. I’m seeing: “Feds admit harassing small Buttes”. (Sarc)
The story says this happened in 2006 and 2008.
I guess the name “Butte Meat” was already taken?
I will not stand for federal willfull harassment of butt meat!
When is this madness gonna stop !!????
But then one day he noticed that he was getting Daily's bacon delivered from Missoula on wooden pallets, and he knew the large Dailys Premium Meats plant was federally inspected.This Legg guy needs an extended vacation in a federal prison.
So Riley took a closer look at FSIS regulations. And he discovered that nowhere in the federal rules did it specify that wooden pallets were unacceptable.
Now more than a little irritated, Riley checked further. Ultimately, he discovered that none of the work Legg had told him he needed to do was based on federal regulations not the wall coverings, not the concrete, not the steel carts, none of it.
Further, he would discover with more research that Jeffrey Legg was known within the agency for making arbitrary pronouncements that were not rooted in the rules.
You know that that isn't going to happen. We need to start harassing federal employees en masse.
I seem to recall complaints similar to these written up about 200 years ago. It was in something called “The Declaration of Independence”. The authorities at the time rejected the claims and took retaliatory steps. I do recall that things turned out well in the end; at least for a while.
Sounds more like there was some kick-backs being paid by the mega processors to have the little guys shut down.
They harassed one in our area too. He had to shut down for awhile but has reopened. He processes his own grass fed beef and sells on his property. Feds hate that kind of stuff.
If all allegations had been substantiated, the result would have been no different.
