Iowa Progressive Radio:  This Week On The Fallon Forum

Monday, Mike Draper and I discuss Governor Branstad's proposed corporate tax cut. Mike owns Raygun and recently wrote an opinion piece
well-worth the read. Like me, Mike has opinions on pretty much
everything, so we're prepared to launch the conversation into
consumerism, shopping local, growing Des Moines, and what Iowa can do to
attract more home-grown businesses.

Tuesday, Gina Strickland with A Woman's Place
talks about a problem facing uninsured pregnant women in Story County.
Roughly 40-60 women annually have been excluded from prenatal care. Now,
a mobile medical clinic will see patients for four hours each month.
But is that enough?

Wednesday, Buzz Malone, author of Iowa Political Jumble, weighs in on the most recent Statehouse follies. This could be a long discussion, but we'll have to limit it to half an hour. David Osterberg
joins us at 7:30 to discuss the future of solar energy, and why solar
is proving to be a safer and more sustainable way to produce
electricity.

Thursday, State Representative Dan Kelley (D-Newton) discusses
legislation that would allow MidAmerican Energy to use ratepayer money
to build a nuclear power plant. Not surprisingly, corporate honchos
won't tell legislators where the plant would be built. Dan thinks we
oughta “Let The People Vote,” and MidAmerican can site the plant only in
a county where the electorate wants it. I presume we can get Bob Vander
Plaats on board.
