It may sound like a rhetoric question but it is not.

Why is the gov. banning filming? What's in it for the gov.?



One side will say that what's in it for the gov is millions of dollars in campaign contributions from big agriculture.

The other side will say that bad publicity for their dairy industry will hurt the state's economy and cost jobs and tax revenue.


... and yet the third side says that if an entire state's economy is based on sweeping illegal (and immoral) acts under the rug for the 'greater good,' then something is severely wrong.
