Missourinet reports tonight that Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed HB209, a bill that would limit the rights of people who own land near large factory farms to recover damages from foul odors and other problems created by huge animal-feeding operations.
Last month, the Post-Dispatch called the bill "one of the most noxious pieces of legislation to land on Gov. Jay Nixon's desk this session."
