John J. Haggerty was quoted in The Evening Sun article
"Judge Tosses Claims Against Egg Farm." While the full
text can be found in the January 14, 2014, issue of The Evening
Sun, a synopsis is noted below.
A judge ruled a lawsuit filed against a Huntington Township
egg-laying operation is legally insufficient, but left open the
possibility for the farm's neighbor to re-file a more detailed
claim.
The neighbors of the farm claim its owners have recklessly
handled and stored waste products.
Contrary to the plaintiffs' claims, defense attorney John
Haggerty said his clients run a state-of-the-art facility.
"You could eat off the floor of this operation,"
Haggerty said. "It's clean, well-run and
well-managed."
