Idaho #AgGag Law Struck Down as Unconstitutional
2015-08-04 13:33:03| Agriculture - Topix.net
A U.S. District Court has struck down Idaho's "ag-gag" law as an unconstitutional attempt by the agriculture industry to silence journalists, animal advocates, and whistleblowers who expose cruel farming practices. The damning ruling -the first of its kind-spells trouble for the agriculture industry's attempts in other state to outlaw photography and video recordings of animal welfare, workers' rights, and environmental violations.

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission last week opened a case concerning Site Based Energy's project near Bellevue and is taking public comments through Aug. 14. "These ten projects are all located at the same site, on the same contiguous property, and divided into ten sections," Idaho Power said in its request to the commission.
