Rep. Andy Harris Statement On The Hudson Family Farm

“The poultry industry is the backbone of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The Hudson family farm in Berlin is being unfairly attacked by a group, with the state's overwhelming financial backing, that is not concerned about the merits of their claim, but are using litigation as a means of driving family poultry farms out of business,” said Rep. Andy Harris. “Tactics like this, especially when they are backed financially by the state, will destroy the poultry industry. Governor O’Malley was absolutely right to question whether this is an appropriate use of state resources. I didn't think it was when the Maryland Senate took action against state involvement two years ago, and I still don't think it is.”
