Ohio lawmakers promote creation of state livestock board
TweetCOLUMBUS — Lawmakers moved quickly to finalize a
November ballot issue that would create a statewide board to set standards for livestock care.
The Ohio House adopted its version of the resolution today after a morning committee hearing, the first the legislation received in that chamber. The final floor vote was 84-13, and the resolution heads to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.
The Senate intends to adopts its version of the amendment Thursday.
The resolutions would ask voters in November to establish the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board, a 13-member panel that would develop standards for biosecurity on farms, animal disease prevention, food safety and affordability and livestock care.

Will these jobs be available to us common folk, or shall they be appointed by our overpaid elected officals (read: the old boy network)??
Any word on their yearly salary, benefits, and retirement package??
As if we don't already have enough "bull" in State government, now this.
At last, a way to begin the process of making factory farms more humane and improving the building and fire codes to provide better protection for animals in all housing facilities! This can be the beginning of bringing Ohio to the forefront of humane livestock and poultry husbandry.
