The news continues to be depressing. The cancer rate in Iowa leads the nation and is unacceptable. If anything, the legislature should be working 24/7 on this and known water issues. There’s little doubt knee deep animal feces, over applied farm chemicals and affected water systems are contributors.
Big Ag has taken the farming reins, causing much of this suffering. No need to tell you how they have done it — just getting bigger will do. I would think the legislators’ lives would be affected by all of this, spurring them to look for answers.
The time legislators spend getting rid of words like diversity, curtailing trans rights and endless control issues to solidify their way of government doesn’t solve the way to make Iowa healthy and strong. It’s time they paid attention to all of us.
