Perdue Farms lauds Hogan’s choice to stall PMT

SALISBURY, Md. — Perdue Farms is hailing the delay in implementing the Phosphorus Management Tool, enforced by Gov. Larry Hogan, as an opportunity to get it right. 

Steve Schwalb, Perdue Farms’ vice president of environmental sustainability, said the delay of the proposed new nutrient management regulations “provides a good opportunity to step back and be sure the regulation is designed in a way that is appropriate to meet the needs of crop farmers, poultry growers and the environment.”

Hogan mandated the delay when, within hours of his taking the oath of office, he pulled the PMT document from its publication in the Maryland Register, its final legislative step before becoming law.

Hilarious! considering Jim Perdue himself wrote a letter to the editor is support of Jake Day, who couldn't WAIT to get the rain tax going. Maybe those exemptions Jakey wanted were for Perdue.

Let's not forget that Jim Perdue supported Anthony Brown with big bucks!

Perhaps Jim Perdue is an independent thinker who appreciates the stormwater tax but doesn't agree with the PMT. Imagine that.

Jake Day's father is a big shot at Perdue. Didn't Jake work there too?

Hate to see Perdue bashing. They have employed a lot of families on the Eastern Shore for years and they've stayed loyal to Salisbury and Wicomico County. Show more respect please.
