So, Iowa Forumers, what are your major issues this fall?

2. Well, a lot of what you mention is related to other things you mention

the cancer rate is related to dirty water is related to overuse of farm chemicals

young people leaving is related to one-party control and education and killing education in Iowa. I'd hate to be a young woman in Iowa and worry what would happen if I had a pregnancy go awry, or even need to get an gyno appointment urgently. Not to mention shitty wages and benefits, the low cost of living doesn't make up for it.

I spent 25 years working in my local school district. I would love to see ESAs abolished and the money stolen from public schools returned - OR AT LEAST accounted for!

How many of us have personally been affected by our own cancer, or that of a loved one, or friends, co-workers, family? The polluted environment affects us all. Farmers need to make a profit but not at the expense of everyone's health.

And leave my IPERS alone! I worked for that, dammit! Let the newbies have it to look forward to, and keep my retirement solvent!
