Negotiations continue on a phase four economic stimulus package, but the the Administration, Senate and House have been unable to find a compromise. South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds said all parties understand the significance of the timing for this legislation. “Once this pressure starts to build more, there’s a lot higher percentage of actually getting something done. I think that’s how leadership expected it to work.” Rounds would like to see one of his provisions included in the final package, the New Markets for State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Act, allowing products inspected by state Meat and Poultry Inspection programs to be sold across state lines. “At a time when our food supply is in danger, this is a very good first step.”
