I’m not really tainkg a position on this legislation one way or the other; I’m pointing out what I see being a glaring flaw. If these new regulations are that necessary to keep the population from getting sick by contaminated food why is anybody getting an exemption from it? The fact that some companies can be exempt tells me that either these regulations really aren’t necessary or that Hagan is putting the interests of business and her own political interests over the health of her constituents.
