Subject: Fred Meyer Meat Fraud
Dear Sirs and Ms:
From the Seattle P-I story:
"Oregon officials said yesterday that they did not have enough resources to pursue the allegations against Fred Meyer."
Why isn't defrauding the public on such a basic commodity as meat worthy of Oregon's resources?
"After the incident, Galego told his attorneys, he tried to get the company to change its overall practices. In 2002, Oregon again cited Fred Meyer for charging customers for tare weight. Oregon officials were "assured by Fred Meyer that these problems would be addressed and corrected," said John Moore, one of the Oregon agricultural officials who inspected Fred Meyer stores at that time."
I'd sure like to know what Oregon will do to asure that my family isn't defrauded on meat purchases in the future. I'd like not to have to start taking my own scale to the market with me.
Sincerly yours,
John Bartley, K7AAY
