Ballot Question To Ban Slaughterhouses Certified

(Sioux Falls, SD) — A ballot question that could ban new slaughterhouses in Sioux Falls is moving forward. The city council certified the question yesterday and will appear on the November ballot. The proposal stemmed from opposition to a pork processing plant that Wholestone Farm proposed last year. The 500 million dollar investment would create an unknown number of jobs. The ordinance to advance the issue passed unanimously.
