Retiring Guy suspects the vultures have made the necessary campaign contributions.   At a news conference, residents detailed the impact of the out-of-state firms that have bought several Iowa mobile home parks over the past few years, in some cases increasing the rents substantially. 
"These corporate entities are coming after us like a virus, and we don't have time for a cure," said Carrie Presley, president of the mobile home owners association at Table Mound Mobile Home Park in Dubuque. "You guys are it. So please, help us."
