Republican governors tell Congress Prop 12 would “disrupt” pork industry

A coalition of Republican governors is asking Congressional leaders to reintroduce a bill that would prevent states from impeding interstate ag trade.  

Governors representing more than half of US pork production sent a letter saying their request is a result of the US Supreme Court upholding California’s Proposition 12 rule, which requires pork to be raised in a specific manner to be sold within the state. Absent from the letter are governors from three of the top five pork producing states in the US.
