Iowa Writers’ Collaborative
I am delighted to be a founding member of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative, where we link readers to writers who share an interest in the state.
In the Sunday Roundup of columns, there was a lot of commentary about Joni Ernst brushing off a constituent who questioned her support of recent legislation that will defund countless programs Iowans rely on for health care. The audience member complained that Iowans will die, to which Ernst responded:
“We’re all going to die.”
Others commented on the nationalization of a school voucher program to benefit private schools, and other ramifications of the bill.
There is other terrific commentary, equally compelling, offered by some of Iowa’s best thought-leaders.
