From Axios:
Gov. Kim Reynolds' office recently denied a request to endorse applications being made by counties to tap into a federal environmental grant program.
[snip]
The grant is part of an inflation reduction bill signed by President Biden in 2022 intended to help state or local governments implement "ambitious plans" for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution.
Iowa is one of five states not participating, alongside Kentucky, Florida, Wyoming and South Dakota.
Great company Kimmi keeps, eh?
In this news release, Kimmi offers Iowans a heapin' helpin' of Pablum. Here's an excerpt:
“It was just a few weeks ago that tornadoes hit several other Iowa communities, and it’s hard to believe that it’s happened again. Iowans are strong and resilient, and we will get through this together. “I plan to visit Greenfield in the morning to assess the damage with local officials and start the recovery process.”
There's not here (or here, for that matter) about the front end of the climate crisis, i.e., addressing preparedness.
