Lake County (USA/California) GE committee at a standstill
The Genetically Engineered Crops Advisory Committee that could not agree on a recommendation must cut its members from 19 to seven as directed by the Lake County Board of Supervisors Tuesday. Board members voted 4-1 to shrink the committee to represent important groups such as organic farmers and non-organic farmers, have the group come up with regulations for genetically engineered (GE) crops and allow for votes to pass that aren’t unanimous, which had not been allowed.
