What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Iowa Soybean Association voiced concerns regarding escalating water quality challenges across Iowa’s lakes, rivers, and drinking-water systems. A coalition of concerned Iowans is calling on state legislators to fund the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund. This fund, which was approved by Iowa voters in 2010, remains empty because the required sales tax increase has not been implemented.
