State Sen. David Johnson l Ocheyedan urges voters to make water quality the number one factor in candidate assessments in 2018. He stresses the issue as essential for public health and local planning.
Iowa lawmakers show little momentum for water quality bills this session or next. Senator Rob Hogg cites a hard right agenda by the Republican majority while Sen. David Johnson voices skepticism about bipartisan support. Voters previously approved a $40 million conservation bond in Linn County to tackle agricultural pollution.
After a heated Statehouse debate, Senate File 2 would end a federal Medicaid waiver funding Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and other family planners. A state program would start July 1, excluding abortion providers, leaving gaps in reproductive health access for many Iowans. Planned Parenthood received about 1 million in 2016 funding and served over 30,000 people last year.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland could lose state funding if Senate File 2 is enacted, threatening family planning services in multiple Iowa cities including Cedar Falls and Keokuk.
Roughly 1 in 5 Iowans lack FCC‑recommended broadband speeds with rural areas hardest hit. Private providers face profitability limits, prompting tax relief and incentives to expand access, while Connect Iowa notes 22 percent without 25 Mbps speeds in 2015 and counties with low uptake.
The Gazette issue Number 48 of volume 135 from 2017 offers local news briefs, community notices, and event previews. Readers will find briefs on municipal matters, school activities, and neighborhood happenings paired with upcoming calendar items and notices from city departments.
