Bill Harden, acting director of Public Voice, said of the 18 committee members only one responded-Sen.

T.E. Garrison, D-Anderson, said he operates a dairy and refrains "from voting on the bills pertaining to the dairy industry in order to avoid a conflict of interest." Public Voice asked the committee members comment on tne House-passed bill that would have restructured the commission. The bill went to the committee and was never reported out. The House bill would would have given greater consumer representation on the commission and would have taken away the boards power to control wholesale and retail prices. Public Voice had urged passage of the bill.

Last December, Public Voice collected 13,000 signatures on a petition to cut the price-fixing powers of the commission. Harden said the committee members' failure to respond to his poll showed their "contempt of the public. In all too many instances legislators lose sight of the fact that they are servants and not masters," he said. "The whole dairy matter smacks of cronyism, conflicts of interest and a deliberate strategy to bury reform in the friendly confines of a graveyard committee," Harden said.
