Three bills related to water quality funding are still alive in the Iowa legislature.
Carol Balvanz, policy director for the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA), says it remains to be seen whether any of the measures will be passed, especially with projected state revenue shortfalls and shrinking budgets.
In the past, ISA has lobbied for longer-term, sustainable solutions to water quality funding. But Balvanz says current economic realities have caused them to change their approach.
