Protein proccessing plant to be arraigned on odor charges
A protein rendering plant is being arraigned on odor charges Tuesday

It's about #$#@$ time. That place can stink to high heaven on some days.. even miles away from the place. It can be so bad, to where you can't concentrate on work, or want to make you ill.
I hear they are going to plead not guilty !!! |
Yup, that place was smellin' pretty nasty this morning coming into downtown this morning.

If they loose so will Shreveport
They have been in business for years and supply a large amount of tax money to Shreveport. I feel that if the new Mayor and his friends prevail here that they will shut this business down and it will move to another state. That place has been there for decades and now that I-49 has been laid next to it the cry babies are coming out of the closet. It would be much different if they just opened or where trying to locate a new business but they have been around for a very long time. If they shut them down who do you think will move in that area ?? The crack heads that is who because no new business will locate in that bad part of town. :eek:
Isaac No one is crying about Lucas Treatment and that place is rank ! |
I've worked downtown for ten years and only in the last year or so has the odor been a problem. It really is foul.

North wind could be part of the problem
I fish on the Red River and Lucas is not bad in the winter because the NW wind keeps it off the river but summer comes and SW winds and wow it is real bad but there does not seem to be as many folks unhappy with Lucas.
I will add that I would not like to work near either one and I do not think I could get use to it ever. I am glad I do not work down town for many reasons such as the traffic and smell and parking. Isaac |

I am all for "small business" and it takes a major issue for me to take another side other than small business. And this is it. Nobody has the right to keep others from doing their jobs in such a way. (by stinking to high heaven) If they move out-of-state, I bet it will not be so close to a new $60M convention center or hotel! I'm with joepole. I've been working downtown for 10 years and the problem only got worse in the last year or two. I can only assume that they ramped up production or changed their process. |
Well boys the I's have it
I do not work down town and do not have to smell it so off with their head and maybe some section eight housing paid for by our taxes in the place of the plant. I can not stand bad smells so for that I must capitulate to you guys. Not often for a Isaac to do :D

When/where can I testify? It stank yesterday.
My receptionist drives home up North Market and she said she had to put her sleeve over her nose. I didn't ask her why she didn't just breathe through her mouth but that's beside the point. |
A city full of mouth-breathers...thats all we need!:eek:
