They argue it will only dent unemployment, rehire municipal staff, and divert funds to foreign aid and defense. The piece questions taxpayer burden and cites one billion scope, urging focus on households.

Iowa House debates highway funds and Farm Bill amendments
The Iowa House approved 2.1 million for the Department of Transportation and offered 3.6 million in loans to counties as matching funds, rejecting a 20 million request. A proposed distribution shift would raise city share to 23 percent and lower county share to 24 percent, which I oppose. The Family Farm Bill faced about 40 amendments, with a loophole allowing many corporations to avoid selling farmland. I urged broad reporting requirements by farming-related corporations to expose issues next year.
