The Iowa Legislature just passed a bill that will allow homes to be sold without disclosing on "groundwater hazard statements" whether or not polluted drinking water wells are known to be on the property. My amendment to require it was rejected by Rs. #ialegis

Will the State of Iowa turn its back on another $3 million in federal funding? #ialegis https://t.co/UjuPCPmu6e
Let<U+2019>s have a little imagination. State could have divvied up the money among the 17 IA councils of government to do regional planning that would have allowed all communities to access $4.6 billion in project funding to come. IEDA and DNR could have offered technical assistance.
In Davenport with @kurth_monica at a news conference on the collapsed apartment building. A lot of upset people outside the yellow tape. https://t.co/34JdtxyxSj
Again, not mentioned in the news release by the governor: another program to benefit Iowans supported by funding from the federal government. Thank you, President Biden and congressional Democrats! https://t.co/AOLoT7iQgC
@LauraRBelin This was a compromise between the manufactured housing lobbyists and the Republicans. Residents were not at the table.
Rep. @marymascher: SF 252 (approving of housing discrimination in Iowa) flies in the face of @IAGovernor recommendations. Check out page 15 and pages 48-51. https://t.co/7tgpPW7fJY #ialegis
@PaulDeaton_IA More important point is that City is trying to establish liability. Question remains: Was City reckless in allowing continued occupancy if it had actual (call from masonry contractor) or constructive notice (a reasonable person should have known) that the building was in peril.
@timothymnel @giadamorresi I consulted with State Rep. @kurth_monica, who is on the ground bringing the attention of Iowa's executive branch agencies to what they can do to step up to the plate and support the tenants and their families.
Research from Iowa Finance Authority -- feel free to replace "housing" with virtually any other public good: "We found that 72% of Iowans support housing. However, those who oppose housing are far more likely to have their voices heard."
