Secretary of Agriculture Judge Accepted Donation from Owner of Slaughterhouse Under Federal Investigation.

Today, Blog for Iowa joins People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in calling on Iowa Secretary of Agriculture and gubernatorial candidate Patty Judge (D) to return the $10,000 that she recently received from the Rubashkin family, whose massive slaughterhouse, AgriProcessors, is currently being sued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for violating the Clean Water
