Kim Reynolds Is Not Looking Out For Iowa

I would just like to say, how dare Kim Reynolds steal our money thinking she has the right to do with it whatever she wants.  She refused $29 million in federal funds that rightfully belongs to Iowans. Iowa taxpayers. Iowa kids. What a despicable, irresponsible act. Who is looking out for Iowa when our own governor would do this to our state?

And now from our inbox:  A word from Iowa’s only statewide elected Democrat, state auditor Rob Sand.

A few months back, Governor Reynolds declined $29 million in federal funds to feed Iowa school kids during the summer.

And yeah, it’s as bad a move as it sounds — especially when you consider what she’s doing instead:

Iowa Starting Line: Gov. Kim Reynolds announced Wednesday that Iowa will start a competitive $900,000 grant program to feed Iowa children over the summer—this comes months after she declined $29 million in federal funds to feed kids via a different summer program.

You read that correctly: After declining $29 million in federal funding to help feed hundreds of thousands of kids, she’s instituting a hunger games-style grant program worth a fraction of what we could and should have had.

This is just another example of partisan insiders playing politics with our children instead of doing their jobs.

It’s outrageous, and Iowans deserve to have the facts to see for themselves just how bad a decision this is.

Can I count on you to make a quick political contribution to equip my campaign team with the resources they need to shine a spotlight on this story and give Iowans the facts?
