So the NCBE's "Mystery Meat" Study Won't Be Published Until... After the Special Session?
We reported yesterday on the National Center for Beef Excellence's Beef Study That Wasn't, and last night KMOV reporter Andre Hepkins, who's been covering the NCBE "meat feasibility" story since last week, sent along this latest development concerning the Beef Center's elusive meat report.
The legislative special session — assuming it is called — will probably take place in September, which means independent researchers won't get to see, let alone test, the fundamental assumptions in this "feasibility study" until long after a $360 million vote is taken on the issue.
Truly absurd. Taxpayers deserve better than this from their community and political leaders. Much, much better than this.
