Pam Tharp reports today in the Richmond Palladium-Item:

The commissioners took no action on the request Monday and aren't scheduled to meet again before the public hearing at 7 p.m. July 28 on the proposed livestock zoning ordinance.

Commissioner Allen Paddock said the area plan commission already has rejected a moratorium, which is the body that must initiate one, based on Randolph County commissioners' experience earlier this year. Randolph County Board of Commissioners withdrew a CAFO moratorium it imposed without area plan commission input, after legal action was taken by CAFO supporters.
