Over 200,000 Iowans Have Already Voted

200,000 Iowans Have Already Voted
by Mike Glover, Associated Press
 Though the election is still [three weeks] away, nearly 200,000 Iowans have already cast their ballots and the pace of early voting is likely to quicken, election officials said.
Still, the pace of early voting isn't keeping pace with the election four years ago when groups such as MoveOn.org made absentee voting a centerpiece of their strategy. . . .
Four years ago, 460,059 people cast ballots before the election, nearly a third of the 1,506,008 who voted. As of [a week ago], 191,718 had cast ballots, but a shift in political strategy could swell that number quickly.

Johnson County Ballot: Say YES to Conservation on November 4th

Johnson County Ballot: Say YES to Conservation on November 4th
Citizens for Our Land, Water and Future
 This November 4th we will have the opportunity to vote for a $20 million investment over the next 20 years for increased water and air quality, conservation, open spaces, wildlife habitat, trails and recreational areas.
This local investment will be leveraged with grants, donations, and federal, state and private money for a likely multiplying effect of 2.5 to 3 times, for a total investment of $50 to $60 million for our land, water and future.
For a homeowner in Johnson County, this would be an investment of about $2.20 a month, or the cost of a large coffee. An owner of a $200,000 house would pay an additional $26.36 a year. Farmland owners would pay approximately an additional 21 cents per acre.
No land will be condemned; only willing sellers will be considered.
The money will be administered by the Johnson County Conservation Board.
The plan will be flexible, comprehensively developed with citizen input, and will be subject to annual audits.
Preserving our land and water improves our quality of life, increases land and property values, and contributes to the economic vitality of the area for not only our lifetime but that of our children and grandchildren.
If you think it is time for something so bold and revolutionary, we could use your support. All the usual things that happen in a campaign will be needed—campaign donations, yard sign locations, volunteers, letters to the editor, and advocacy mailings. If you want to be involved in these activities, just let us know.
Together we can make a difference for our land, our water, and our future.
