Fayette, Buchanan, and Clayton County Farm Bureaus hosted their last legislative town hall meeting of the year on Saturday, March 16, at the Arlington Community Event Center in Arlington.
Representatives attending the meeting were Bruce Bearinger, Iowa House District 64; Craig Johnson, Iowa Senate District 32; Michael Bergan, Iowa House District 55; Anne Osmundson, Iowa House District 56; and Michael Breitbach, Iowa Senate District 28. The conversation at the town hall meeting was dominated by two topics: voting and solar energy. This article will concentrate on the time change and early voting discussion, with the article next week concentrating on closing satellite-voting locations in state-owned buildings. The following week will have an article on the discussion surrounding solar energy.
A constituent in attendance asked the representatives about making changes to early voting, and closing voting booths an hour earlier.
