Why would I move out of a state in which I have lived for over 50 years?
The air is dirty, the water is dirty, pesticides drench farm fields, private education is favored over public education, books are banned, civil rights protections are eroded, voting laws have become overly stringent, universities are dictated to regarding curriculum and programming, child care is woefully unsupported, the Iowa Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund supported by voters in 2010 remains unfunded and physicians are dictated to regarding established medical procedures. Gov. Kim Reynolds and her legislative support group have created a nanny state.
It’s time to move.
