0:57Now PlayingRepublican Sen. Pete Ricketts tells Drop Site News he is standing behind the legality of Tyson’s decision to close its Lexington beef-processing plant, despite the Packers and Stockyards Act barring such plant closures aimed at price manipulation.
The plant employed 3,200 Nebraskans in a town of 10,000 people before it shuttered on January 20. “They are not violating the Stockers Packyards [Act],” Ricketts told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone, mangling the name of the law that could protect the town from total devastation.
Ricketts had previously told reporters he was “taking a look at” whether Tyson violated the law, as his independent opponent Dan Osborn has alleged.
