- Local control of factory farms and other agriculture and environmental policies
- Raising the minimum wage
- Closing corporate tax loopholes
- Getting the corrosive influence of big money out of our political system, and
- Much, much more.
“I’m excited for this opportunity to get to know Senator Hatch more and what his plans are to create a People First Iowa that puts the common good before corporate greed,” said John Cook, an Iowa CCI Action Fund member from Carroll.The community forum Saturday at 6:30pm at the Carroll Chamber of Commerce is open to the public and media is also invited to attend.
