This is a really interesting debate. Complex issue with lot of pitfalls to avoid, but there are some benefits to deregulation. As always, the details matter.
Big Iowa energy users say they can get better prices with direct market access. Critics say the move would shift costs to other businesses, consumers. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Flood protection construction in @CityofCRiowa has been speeding up the last few years with specific focus on the west side:
FY '21: $33.2 million
FY '22: $40 million
FY '23: $51 million (anticipated)
Over $50 million in flood control work is happening in all four quadrants of Cedar Rapids, including long-awaited protection around the Northwest Neighborhood. @gazettedotcom has the breakdown of some of this year's projects ⬇️ thegazette.com/local-governm…

Mercy Iowa City is scheduling #COVID19 vaccine appointments for this week for kids 5 and under. Child must be a patient.
While other states' pediatric clinics were taking under 5 vaccine appointments LAST WEEK, @UIchildrens message this morning: maybe we'll be ready next week. "Iowa's Only Nationally Ranked Children's Hospital" not worth the paper on which it's written. #COVID19
Clinics are also operated by @uihealthcare, so want to make sure everyone gets full credit.

We're on the verge of historic climate change legislation. The @POTUS Build Back Better Act "makes the most significant investment to deal with the climate crisis ever." There's no Plan B, Congress needs to deliver.
"We'll build up our resilience for the next superstorm, drought, wildfires, and hurricanes that represent a blinking code red for America and the world." —@POTUS on the the Build Back Better Act framework, the most significant climate bill in history

Power to keep kids safe back where it should always have been...in the hands of local school board members.
Iowa school districts again have the power to enact mask mandates after a federal judge temporarily blocked a law banning them from doing so. desmoinesregister.com/story/… Story from @sgrubermiller
Does @CRSCHOOLS have a similar method of sharing aggregate data?
As of Monday, 40 staff members and 45 students have tested positive. That includes 15 elementary school, 12 middle school and 17 high school students. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

We see this all the time locally, too. So many politicians more interested in getting clicks and column inches than getting anything done.
Okay...now do the same for city council members, mayors, school board members, teachers, principals, public health workers that just want to do theirs.
"I'm doing my job, he needs to do his job."
--Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds' response to Biden's threat of potential legal action against state leaders opposing universal masking in schools.
