A California economist is concerned about the price and availability of pork in his state once Proposition 12 is implemented next year.
Lon Hatamiya is a private consultant and a former Secretary of Technology, Trade, and Commerce in California. He analyzed a university report from Dr. Glynn Tonsor from Kansas State and Jayson Lusk from Purdue. Hatamiya says he agrees with their assessment that Proposition 12 will result in greater consumer prices and lower pork demand.
