Who pooped in our river?

Democrats knew when Iowa DNR Director Kayla Lyons was appointed by Governor Reynolds in 2024, that she was Kim’s willing puppet, a dairy farm lobbyist who would do as she was told.  She fought the Biden era US EPA addition of seven iowa river segments to the impaired list saying that the standards were too high, that local water plants could make the water safe for consumption regardless of the nitrate levels and that there was no proof that the waters were impaired even though—as Kami Koons reported in her January 2025 article for Iowa Capital Dispatch—the EPA was using data that the DNR themselves provided and from the Des Moines Waterworks data which was public record. These segments include parts of the Cedar, Iowa, Des Moines and Raccoon rivers.
