State Attorney General Drew Edmondson says he believes his federal lawsuit against poultry producers will be finished or settled by the end of his current term.

Edmondson sued in 2005 to prevent 13 Arkansas poultry companies from disposing chicken waste in the Illinois River watershed.
The lawsuit claims the waste is polluting the water.
Attorneys for the poultry companies say bacterial levels in the watershed haven't changed in 20 years.
Speaking Tuesday at the University of Oklahoma College of Public Health Edmondson said the case is set to go to trial next September.
Edmondson's current term expires in 2010.
Edmondson also has requested a temporary injunction against the poultry companies. A federal judge in Tulsa heard testimony concerning that request in March but has yet to rule.

Edmondson is a crook and if all goes well, he won't remain in this position until 2010.
This case may or may not have merit but the only reason edmondson is pursuing it is to keep his name in the news. He has been running for gov. for years through his office with our tax dollars. If you want a socialist for president ,more taxes , less take home money please vote for edmondson.
