Senator Tom Harkin released this statement earlier this week. http://harkin.senate.gov/pr/p.cfm?i=309274 The statement addresses abuse of persons with disabilities working and living on a Turkey Farm in Iowa. Please see blog listing How can this still happen? Harkin is interested in looking at the 14C program run by the Department of Labor as one response to what appears to be a very ugly episode.
