Wave of Opposition to Senate Chemicals Bill Swells from Public Interest Groups, Legal Scholars
Environmental Working Group - 6/12/2013. Dozens of public interest organizations and legal scholars today sent letters to Congressional leaders expressing their unified opposition to the industry-backed Chemical Safety Improvement Act introduced last month by a bipartisan group of senators.

Court To Monsanto: You Said You Won't Sue, So You Can't
National Public Radio - 6/12/2013. By Dan Charles - Monsanto’s policy statement about GE contamination is binding. The reason is something called "judicial estoppel" — the common-law principle that someone can't use an argument to win one case and then turn around and argue the opposite in a different case.

King speaks on Farm Bill passing in U.S. Senate
WCSH6.com - 6/12/2013. By Chris Facchini - For the first time since 2008, The United States Senate has passed a Farm Bill. By a vote of 66-27 senators approved the 995 Billion dollar program, which would be funded over 10 years. It would cut 24 billion dollars from the previous funding levels. The vast majority of the funding, about 760 billion would go to the SNAP or food stamp program. About 89 Billion would pay for crop insurance for farmers. The crop insurance program has been a controversial issue for many because critics argue large agribusinesses are getting taxpayer subsidies. Senator King voted for the farm bill, and explained his reasons why he supported it, including the controversial crop insurance program.
