If you lived downwind of a hog facility in Iowa (or anywhere for that

the health issues/declining property values, that accompany it.

************************************************************************
***************************************************
The legislation in question is a $410 billion omnibus bill that would
keep the federal government running through the rest of the fiscal year,
which ends in September 2009.
According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a group that monitors
government spending, the bill includes:
* Nearly $1.8 million for pig odor research in Iowa
