In the most recent issue of The National Law Journal, I wrote a story on food disparagement laws that have been passed in 13 states and are being considered in several more. My story currently is at: http://www.ljx.com/news/mad.html In my continuing reporting on this issue, I am seeking the names of the principle sponsors of these measures in each of the state legislatures. The state government sites on the net are of virtually (pardon the pun) no use because they only have the most recent legislative sessions on line. Is there anyone out there who has been following the issue who has the names of the sponsors in the following states? (If the law has been passed, the year of its enactment is in parentheses) Alabama (96), Arizona (95), California, Colorado (?), Florida (95), Georgia (94), Idaho (92), Louisiana (91), Maryland, Mississippi (?), Nebraska, North Dakota (97), Ohio (96), Oklahoma (95), South Carolina, South Dakota (94), Texas (95), Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Thank you all for any help you can give. You can e-mail me direct.
