Columbia Meat Packing Needs to be Sent Packing

This is a day that I have been eagerly anticipating.  On Wednesday, the City Council voted to have a compliance case regarding Columbia Packing Company heard by the Board of Adjustment. This is the same hearing process previously used by Councilman Caraway, myself, and other community leaders to close numerous motels in Southern Dallas.

It's long overdue.  The strangest thing has happened since the plant has been closed; you can breathe the air at the foot of the Cedar Crest/MLK Bridge!

The video below above details some serious allegations of illegal operations carried out by Columbia Packing. I won't say more at this time.  However, I'm sure the community is looking forward to having the case heard. A hearing date has not been set; we will pass along that info when it is made available.
