Linn County Pheasants Forever Advocates for Iowa Natural Resource Funding

February 12, 2018 by

Did you know that more than 60% of Iowan's voted to protect our natural resources? This is true; yet the fund to protect the resources, sits with no funding. On February 12, 2018, Linn County Iowa's Pheasants Forever's Dennis Goemaat, Forrest Kramer and Greg Johnston met with their representatives at the Iowa State Capitol in DesMoines to advocate for the http://www.iowaswaterandlandlegacy.org/.
Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy is bringing Iowans together in support of immediate, permanent, reliable, substantial funding aimed at improving our water quality, protecting our soil, enhancing our wildlife habitat, and increasing outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Iowa. With a small increase in our state’s sales tax, we can fund the trust to preserve Iowa for generations. In the attached pictures are Dennis and Forrest with Rep. Art Stead, Rep Kirsten Running-Marquardt and Todd Taylor. Great job Linn County PF in advocating for our communities!
