Iowans Urge Legislators: Represent Everyday Iowans; Kill the Odor Study

From Iowa CCI...

Iowans Urge Legislators: Represent Everyday Iowans; Kill the Odor Study

Iowans to Hold Press Conference at Capitol April 16

What: Just prior to the end of the legislative session, Iowans will gather at the State Capitol Wednesday, April 16 for a press conference and to tell legislators to stop listening to special-interest lobbyists and start listening to the people they represent – their constituents – and kill the odor study bill, HF 2688.

Who: Members of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement and other coalition groups will push for action and urge legislators to kill the odor study.

When: The press conference will be at 10 am Wednesday, April 16. Members of Iowa CCI plan to lobby key legislators following the press conference until noon.

Where: The press conference will be at the State Capitol building in Des Moines .

Why: Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement members and others are tired of catering to the factory farm industry and don’t want stall tactics and unnecessary studies that have already been done. This press conference is at a critical time near the end of the session, and that’s why legislators must listen to their constituents – Iowans deserve policies that benefit the common good.

Please join us for this press conference
