"Tommy Irvin has been Georgia's Agriculture Commissioner for over 40 years, since before man walked on the moon.The recent salmonella outbreak in South Georgia is just another in a long line of incompetent governace of Georgia's vital agriculture industry by Tommy Irvin. This is Hurricane Katrina for Georgia products, especially its peanut industry. Like Michael Brown (the FEMA Director who resigned), Tommy Irvin had the responsibility for inspecting the peanut processing plant that shipped salmonella contaminated products that have killed 8 and injured possibly thousands. He had the responsibility to detect the problem and stop the problem once it was detected. He failed. He should step aside."
