Yesterday, nearly 40 residents of Wright County and surrounding communities held a powerful rally and press conference to oppose the Prestage slaughterhouse. Then, they testified before the Board of Supervisors, demanding they vote NO on this bad project.
The next hearing will be on July 25 at 9am at the Clarion Courthouse.
But the supervisors are intentionally suppressing our voices. Unlike previous hearings, those wishing to speak will be required to 1) sign in half an hour in advance AND 2) provide proof of address, such as a utility bill. This means we have to work even harder to be heard!
On top of that, the supervisors are still keeping the community in the dark. They haven’t released any details about what this slaughterhouse will cost Iowa taxpayers. Yet, they’re pushing the project through without true public input.
We have to keep up the pressure!
