MORE, PLEASE: State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald joined colleagues to call on Congress to deliver $350 billion in aid for state and local governments to keep essential workers on the job, support vaccination efforts, and safely reopen schools.
âWeâre suffering every day. We need this help from the federal government, and then we can start working on things that would really help our state grow,â Fitzgerald said on a call with state treasurers from Kansas, Oregon and Maine.
They were among 17 Democratic state treasurers who signed a letter seeking support to offset COVID-19-related revenue losses they said have resulted in government employees being laid off.
Action alert from:
‘Tis the season to fight for clean water and hold our local & state officials accountable to protecting our natural resources!
Here’s 3 ways that you can help protect our right to clean water this holiday season:
Submit a public comment on the impaired waterways report to the Iowa DNR by January 1.
From
Feb 1 to April 1, no liquid manure application is allowed on frozen ground.
Manure that is applied on snow-covered or frozen ground will run directly into our waterways come springtime when the ground thaws.
If you see any manure spreading during the winter months, report it to the DNR at 515-725-8200 and to Iowa CCI at iowacci@iowacci.org.
