We could do an action alert on this and several bills to transfer regulation of 
pollution from the DNR to thr Dept of Ag.
We only can do two action alerts through convio a month. The rest have to be 
e-mails thrugh the HELEN network asking members to call or write their 
legislators.

Thanks for the information Charlie.  What is the Sierra Club plan to do
something about this?  Phyllis
Des Moines, Iowa – House Republicans have cut funding and proposed a
change to the formula for Resource Enhancement and Protection for Iowa
(REAP) grants which will nearly end efforts to purchase or restore lands
in Iowa to improve fish and wildlife habitats.



“After 63% of Iowans voted last fall in support of our natural resources,
the Republican plan goes against strong public opinion and will stall
Iowa’s efforts to improve natural habitats, reduce flooding, and keep our
air and water clean,” said State Representative Chris Hall of Sioux City,
Ranking Member of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources
Appropriations Subcommittee.
