So the State just offers to buy a fancy overpriced office building for the legislatures secretaries for $32.5 Million dollars and they want to close down the only USDA approved slaughterhouse in south central Alaska.  Effectively ending commercial meat production, any meat auctions at the Palmer of Kenai Fairs and severely limiting and FFA/4H programs.  (All because of State regulations)  

This plant has had a rough road for sure but now that it actually showed a profit, it is time to shut it down?  Anytime politicians, politics or Government become involved in operating what should be private enterprise, there is failure.  I wonder if it has something to do with the mindset?  Nothing in agriculture is an 9 to 4 job with full benefits paid for by someone else!
