A scandal has erupted in the beef business. Seems inspectors were taking bribes at various locations of beef processing plants. The largest beef exporter in the world was identified as the culprit. It became known after information came out the tainted and spoiled carcasses were sent to foreign customers including China and Canada. Shipments were halted and huge losses have begun to pile up. The European Union has suspended imports of Brazilian beef.
Now comes the campaign to reform the image of Brazilian beef. Prime Minister Temer has made statements that the problems were isolated and violators will be prosecuted. Hmmm.
How does a country come back from institutionalized corruption? Not easy anywhere.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
