Always controversy

We thought we had left politics behind when we retired but no matter where you go it finds you. We haven't been here long enough to make hard decisions on many of the local issues here but are involved in one only because we are coffee farmers. Our video from the KCFC.org we belong to made it to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8-lKZb64l4. There is a bill in our local House looking to pass a law that to be labeled Kona coffee you must have at least 75% Kona beans in the package. Currently it is legal to package a 10% blend. Truthfully it seems to me not to matter as the package is labeled either 10% of 100% and the price also reflects the difference. And the taste definitely reflects the difference. So this is one thing I hope not to get too involved with. But most of the members are quite determined to continue to support the new bill to the end.
