This is why elections matter
Today’s Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) meeting is an important example of why elections matter. Today the commission - stacked most recently by Governor Branstad’s factory farm appointees – voted not to enact a long overdue ban on applying liquid [read factory farm] manure to soybean ground.
Without a doubt, whoever is elected to the statehouse Nov. 6 will have a say in the role of public oversight of factory farms.
Do you know where your statehouse candidates stand on this issue?
