Thone disputes Exon Eagleton and Foreman on meat lab move
Rep. Charles Thone rebutted claims by Gov. Exon Senator Eagleton and Carol Foreman that the St. Louis meat and poultry lab would stay and expand. He says the old St. Louis facility in a federal courthouse causes odors and waste issues and that Lincoln would gain a new regional lab with the old St. Louis lab to be closed. Thone says the USDA has asked GSA Kansas City to delay Lincoln contract awards amid the dispute.
