When do we indeed, board the bus? Thank you Larry and Chris. My senator and representative are Democrats here in Des Moines. We need to help flip more seats. Tell your neighbors about the filthy water issues. Stand up and fight. Sure can't bury your head in the sand/soil, as surely you will be asphyxiated by manure.

If you want a little extra inspiration to donate to Driftless Water Defenders, consider sending them your tax savings from Iowa's income tax changes which:

Eliminated ($0!!!) Iowa income tax for retirement income &

Dramatically reduced Iowa income tax for high-earning working people.

You are welcome to use this calculator to calculate the tax savings / cost for your 2024 tax year. The calculator is designed to inspire Iowans to invest their tax savings back into projects that inspire them them here in Iowa.
