Complete Patient blog writes about an opportunity to stop NAIS in Michigan.
There had been rumblings that State Sen.
Liz Brater (SenLBrater@senate.michigan.gov), an Ann Arbor Democrat, might sponsor legislation to put off implementation of the requirement that all Michigan cattle be tagged for NAIS as of March 1, which is about seven weeks off. But Sen. Brater’s legislation assistant, Eilene Davis, says she’s “not sure (Sen. Brater) will” sponsor legislation.Part of the problem is that any momentum to make the change seriously dissipated as a result of the election of a new legislature, which will be sworn in tomorrow (Wed). Sen. Brater will no longer be on the agriculture policy committee, where she served as vice chair. In the new legislature, she will be on the appropriations committee, and presumably have less incentive to pursue agriculture-related issues.
