INDIANAPOLIS — A state senator who sponsored a bill targeting Indiana’s big livestock farms blames the Indiana House for dooming the legislation in the session’s waning hours by refusing to compromise on some of its provisions.
State Sen. Beverly Gard, R-Greenfield, said the bill died in the General Assembly’s session that ended Sunday in part because state Rep. Phil Pflum, D-Milton, refused to drop a provision calling for a one-mile setback between the largest of the farms and schools.
