OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR)– Governor Kevin Stitt has now signed into law a measure that gives poultry farmers/companies "immunity" for polluting Oklahoma waterways.

Senate Bill 1424 says if companies or farmers are following state laws then they can't be sued, even if their actions caused harm.

The proposal states if chicken companies or farmers follow a nutrient management plan, they'll be protected from any criminal or civil accountability.

"You're immune," said Gov. Stitt.

The proposal does include consequences. It makes the pollution of chicken waste while not following safety guidelines a misdemeanor. It carries a fine no less than $500/day and caps it at $10,000/day.

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes sent a letter to lawmakers May 27 detailing their opposition of SB1424. The council consists of the Seminole Nation, Choctaw Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Muscogee Creek Nation, and Cherokee Nation.

In Australia our conservative leader (whose not in power atm) came out and said if he got elected he would scrap all of our net zero targets, removing us from the Paris agreement etc etc all the while the planet is recording the hottest year on record year after year. You truly can't make this stuff up.
