Government : Week in Wrap

Summit Carbon Solutions Pipeline

The Iowa Utilities Board gave its approval for the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline and for the company to use eminent domain to acquire landowners' property. A decision that will likely be challenged in court.

Although I support land rights for safe, voluntary, and necessary projects, I DO NOT support the use of forced eminent domain for private profit. The legislature is working on this issue as information and strategies continue to pour in daily. I will keep the district updated as this issue unfolds.

Iowa State Education Association Recommendation

"We can teach from our experience, but we cannot teach experience." - Sasha Azevedo

This is why education is so vitally important to our society and civilization. Our teachers are the cornerstone of our children's educational foundation and the future of Iowa.
The Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) represents education professionals in Iowa's cities, suburbs and towns. They understand and appreciate that strong public schools are a foundation of a strong community.

I am extremely honored to receive their recommendation for election to the Iowa Senate this year.

"On behalf of the Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) representing education professionals across the state, we are pleased to recommend Charlie McClintock for the Iowa Senate," said ISEA President Mike Beranek. "We believe Charlie McClintock will do what is best for all of Iowa's students regardless of the ZIP code in which they live and be a voice for education professionals as important decisions are made that impact our students and our public schools."
