Activists to Sue Smog Agency Over Dairies
In the latest volley against massive dairies, an environmental group plans to sue the local smog control agency and three major dairies to force compliance with federal air regulations.

The group says the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District failed to require pollution-control measures at the dairies, which will each house more than 14,000 cows.
