(Tulsa, Ok)--"Slow goin and heavy sloggin" is how the Judge termed the chicken waste trial underway in Tulsa Federal Court. A former Oklahoma Secretary of the Environment testified about a number of official reports and studies on the quality of the water in the Illinois River Watershed in Northeast Oklahoma. Oklahoma filed a lawsuit against the Poultry Industry claiming excess chicken waste seeping into the river has polluted what is considered an Oklahoma scenic river. On the stand as a witness for the state, Miles Tolbert said the reports all point out the severity of the polution. He says the waste has made portions of the watershed void of fish. He also testified a report detailed how the pollution is dangerous for people getting in the water to swim, boat, or fish. Attornies for the Poultry Industry objected to having the reports introduced as evidence.
