Bills to Watch: HB 249 – Growing of Food, C. Herrod
I hear that that mean old socialist Obama is coming for your carrots! Good thing Representative Christopher Herrod (R – Provo – District 62) is proposing HB 249 – Growing of Food. The bill would ensure that you would be able to grow your own food in your back yard. Yup, that’s it, Representative Herrod [...]
