At 10:30 a.m.we will host a press conference downstairs in the legislative lunchroom. We will announce the more than 5,000 signatures we have gathered in the past few months from Iowans all around the state calling for a temporary moratorium on construction of CAFOs until economic, social and environmental impacts are addressed to the satisfaction of the majority of Iowans. These signatures will then be presented to Governor Chet Culver.
If you have questions, please contact me at the office or call our lobbyist Judie Hoffman at 515 292 2660.
Note that this event was postponed from Feb. 4 due to bad weather.
See you Monday!
