[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1496313, member: 18945"] Is the Riceland Farms project that was turned down by Port Arthur and Anahuac? [url=http://theexaminer.com/stories/news/proposed-meat-processing-facility-port-arthur-sparks-debate]http://theexaminer.com/stories/news/pro ... rks-debate[/url] [i]"At the meeting, Tohme made the point that, in his opinion, Anahuac rejected Riceland Farms based on something other than the potential noxious smell of the industrial facility. He said he feels prejudice played a part. “It wasn’t about odor,” Tohme said of Anahuac’s refusal of the project. “It wasn’t about the location of the facility. It was about the rejection of diversity We spoke a little while ago about, ‘You’re going to have Muslims slaughter the animal,’ and that is correct, but these are going to be United States citizens that are Muslims that are part of this community. Would we be having this conversation in Anahuac, do you think, if this was a kosher meat-processing facility? Probably not. I believe the diversity, from the little bit of information that I gathered, was the big issue.”[/i] [/QUOTE]
