A bill preventing land owners from selling their land to whomever they choose at whatever price they decide has passed the Natural Resources Committee. The over 700 emails and dozens of calls I received were dismissed as “complaining.” No member of public spoke in favor at sub.
Auriel was getting Miss Bean into her harness to go for walkies. At the exact moment he put his shoes on, an unmasked UPS driver walked onto our front porch and coughed.

A bill introduced yesterday that threatens public land access in Iowa will have a subcommittee hearing TODAY at 3 p.m. It's a near repeat of the failed 2019 legislation to halt public land purchases. Attend virtually or in-person and tell legislators to say no to SSB 3134.
Climate strike organized by 14-year-old Lillian Hill at the State Capitol on Monday, February 21, at 2 p.m. Spread the word. Climate action is needed, it's urgent, and we have many solutions that work.
