Final reminder for letters to support the new “letter of opinion” released to us JOINTLY from the ODA and Health Department. Chuck Kirchner has been an advocate for common sense and apparently he and Doctor Jackson are pushing for the clarification of refrigeration for farmers markets and other temporary locations.
Please read the background details in our Action Alert.
Letters to support the use of non-mechanical refrigeration need to flow to Director Boggs at ODA and to Dr. Jackson at ODH.
The hearing is Feb. 23, so you may need to email, fax or deliver your last minute letters to their offices in person by Monday.
