Political Factoid

The State of Iowa* used
eminent domain to take
thousands of acres of
privately-owned farmland
from Iowa families
  • and gave it to a private,
    out-of-state, for-profit
    corporation
    that will temporarily
    (for less than a year) hire
    a couple of thousand
    workers (many from
    out-of-state
    ),
  • along with extraordinary
    (can you spell EXPENSIVE)
    state police protection, all
    paid for by Iowa taxpayers.
* More precisely, it was not the
taxpayers of Iowa, but the
GOP politicians controlling
the Iowa legislature and
Governor's office.
