Published January 13, 2008 09:48 am - THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Poultry companies got busy after lawsuit filed The Poultry Community Council and the poultry companies no doubt appreciate Rick Stubblefield’s "insight" (Dec. 7) as he is a vocal supporter of the poultry industry and denigrates the efforts of Oklahoma’s Attorney General Drew Edmondson to protect our environment.
Both Stubblefield and Jackie Cunningham, director of community relations Poultry Community Council, conveniently overlook the fact that the only real progress and efforts made by the poultry industry to work on correcting the damage to the Illinois River watershed occurred after the lawsuit was filed by Edmondson. Moreover, the poultry industry continues to whine and complain about the lawsuit instead of being proactive in trying to reach a resolution. Lawsuits settle. In fact, the vast majority of lawsuits settle without trial. If the industry really wants to "move forward," it can stop stalling, stop whining, stop airing costly, warm, fuzzy ads and demonstrate a meaningful commitment to cleaning up and protecting the Illinois River.
