McHale Booted From Pennsylvania Agriculture Post
Agriculture Secretary James McHale was rejected by the Pennsylvania Senate in a 27-20 vote, forcing his exit by year end. The 47 year old had drawn farm group ire over rural poverty efforts and clashes with farm organizations, while Shapp pressed for support without success. McHale had served since 1971 after dairy farming in Crawford County and rising from the National Farmers Union.
