Hello District 84 from the State Capitol!
The Iowa Legislature is marching its way towards the end of session, possibly by the end of April. The Iowa House is in negotiations with the Senate with budgets and other bills. The House passed nine bills this week and was basically unanimous in favor on all of them. One of the bills, Senate File 84, enhances the penalties for sexual exploitation of a minor and eliminates the possibility of a deferred judgement for these crimes. State Auditor Rob Sand Urges Rural Communities to Apply for Energy/ERA Funding
State Auditor Rob Sand today urged leaders in Iowa’s rural
communities to apply for funding from the Energy Improvements in Rural or
Remote Areas (ERA) program. The program is designed to provide financial
investment, technical assistance, and other resources to advance clean energy
in communities with fewer than 10,000 people.
“This can be an economic boost for places like my hometown,” said Auditor
Sand.
