Dear Eric Hovde: Please take your wounded clown show back to California. Thank you. Best, Retiring Guy

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 11/15/2024
Milwaukee received 108,964 absentee ballots by Nov. 5, according to the unofficial count. 
Of that group, Baldwin received 88,229 and Hovde received 17,699 absentee ballots. 
So Baldwin got about 80.9% of the absentee vote and Hovde got about 16.2% of it. 
Clearly Baldwin did not get “nearly 90%” of the absentee ballot vote. 
In comparison, Baldwin slightly outperformed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris who received 87,852 absentee votes, or 80.6%. 
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump outperformed Hovde by receiving 18,698 or 17.1%.

Dear Iowa voters: Sorry, but your rivers will remain impaired for a while. You asked for it! Best, Retiring Guy

Iowa utilities treat raw water to meet federal drinking water standards and ensure it's safe for drinking, but nitrate removal is costly. Only a fraction of rural homeowners who rely on wells for drinking water regularly test them for nitrates 
The EPA criticized the Iowa DNR’s statistical approach to calculating nitrogen levels in rivers used for drinking water — a concern the federal agency noted in its public comments on the state’s preliminary impaired waters list. 
That approach “can work for some pollutants, but not for ones that are known to be toxic, acutely toxic, like nitrate and nitrite in water,” said David Cwiertny, director of the University of Iowa’s Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination. "EPA is saying Iowa should not be using that approach for drinking water sources, because any exceedance is a risk.”

Hope Iowans enjoy cheap Trump groceries while their rivers choke to death on contaminants and their well water become undrinkable.
