U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota, denies allegations that a provision he helped insert into a draft of the federal farm bill would protect the maker of Roundup from pending lawsuits claiming that frequent use of the herbicide causes cancer.
“Our legislation doesn’t do anything in the courts,” Johnson said Wednesday in an interview with South Dakota Searchlight at the Sioux Empire Fair in Sioux Falls. “If somebody’s got a legitimate claim in court today, there isn’t anything that we would do to adjust their claim from a backward-looking perspective.”
