Doyle's Enemy of the State

Gov. Jim Doyle has vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have legalized the sale of raw milk to consumers.

"I don't think this was an absolute easy question one way or the other but I think in the end it was one I had to make a decision on," Doyle told reporters. "I think I clearly in those cases have to rely on what the public health people [men with money] are telling me."

Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) blasted Doyle's decision, saying consumers should have the ability to choose raw milk if they believe it has special health benefits.

"I think (Doyle's decision to veto the bill) was a combination of the agribusiness industry who, whatever they say, were afraid of losing a little market share, and the public health establishment that is instinctively afraid of freedom of any sort," Grothman said. "I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for all the people with stomach ailments, autism and other ailments who are going to have to try to obtain a product illegally because their government doesn't believe in freedom."

By an overwhelming margin, the state Legislature passed the bill sought by some farmers and consumers who believe that raw, unpasteurized milk has qualities that boost the immune system and can cure a plethora of ailments.

Cows and family farms, Doyle's enemies of the State.  Now he can sleep safe at night putting farmers(and cows?) behind bars.  Doyle's Democrat party is one of Big farm and Big labor.  Thanks for sticking it to the little guy.
