Grassley speaks to employees & local leaders in Atlantic

News

September 10th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Iowa Republican Senator Charles Grassley was in Atlantic this (Monday) morning, to answer questions and speak with employees at SWIPCO (The Southwest Iowa Planning Council). Iowa’s Senior Senator spoke about economic development, housing, the Farm Bill and the confirmation hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh in his bid to become the next U-S Supreme Court Justice. On the topic of the Farm Bill, Grassley said the Conference Committee started meeting last week, but he doesn’t recall any progress having been made.

(Grassley said Senator’s McConnell and Roberts want to get an agreement reached by the end of September, but if it gets too far into the Fall, the existing Farm Bill will have to be extended for one-more year.)

Grassley said the biggest stumbling block in getting the bill passed with 60 votes in the Senate, is a work requirement in order for people to receive food stamps.

(He says he doesn’t mind that requirement, personally, with some exceptions, such as the disabled, elderly and families with children under a certain age. Everyone else would have to put in 20-hours of work or community service. Grassley said he wishes he could say there’s a compromise coming, but he doesn’t know what that would be. It’s likely, he said, the requirement will end-up being dropped.)

Anglers concerned over Iowa agency’s plan to close station

News

September 10th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

ONAWA, Iowa (AP) — Anglers are concerned that they’ll have less information about fish populations and habitat after an Iowa agency closes its only fish-monitoring station on the Missouri River. The Sioux City Journal reports that the state’s Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing Tuesday at the Lewis and Clark State Park Visitor Center to discuss its plans. The agency plans to reassign two permanent monitoring station positions to other locations in eastern Iowa by Oct. 5. Officials say the closure is necessary due to budget cuts.

Onawa fisherman Matt Sorenson says he’s concerned anglers will have less information about the area’s fish after the station closes. David Weidt is a former Monona County Conservation ranger. He says it’s important to have researchers studying the river.
