Democrats from Iowa House to hold Legislative Listening Post in Waukon

Saturday, March 11, Democratic members of the Iowa House of Representatives will visit Waukon for a legislative listening post. Those Democratic Representatives will listen to local concerns regarding recent efforts to lower Iowa's minimum wage, close down and lay-off employees of Luster Heights Camp, underfund public schools, raise property taxes and close down women's health clinics.

The listening post will begin at 1 p.m. this Saturday at Robey Memorial Library, located at 401 First Avenue NW in Waukon. Saturday's listening post is part of a series of such events being conducted by Iowa House of Representative Democrats throughout Iowa.

"I hope Iowans will join us to share their concerns and learn what's really happening at the State Capitol this year," said Representative Mark Smith of Marshalltown, House Democratic Leader and District 71 Representative.
