One Dies From Salmonella Poisoning Linked To Turkey
Washington - Federal officials say one person has died from salmonella poisoning that appears to be linked to eating ground turkey. Seventy-six people in 26 states have been sickened from the same strain of the disease, which is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics. Those illnesses date back to March, but there has not yet been a recall of turkey. The federal Centers for Disease Control and prevention did not name the retailers or the manufacturers.

ANTI-ENVIRO PROVISIONS IN INTERIOR FUNDING BILL
The current House bill to fund the Int. Dept. is unacceptable. It takes an ax to countless environmental laws designed to protect our water, air, public lands and wildlife. Fortunately, with bipartisan support, one of the most egregious riders, which would have prevented protections for endangered plants and wildlife, was stripped from the Interior funding bill. This "extinction rider" wasn't about saving money for taxpayers. It was about fulfilling a wish list for Big Oil, developers and other special interests who oppose the Endangered Species Act. Coloradans should be grateful that Reps. Diana DeGette, Jared Polis and Ed Perlmutter voted to remove the rider from the bill, putting the interests of their constituents above those of big business. Let's encourage them to continue opposing the remaining anti-environmental provisions in the bill.
