Letter of the WeeQ

In explaining the vote to remove TouchPlay machines, House Speaker Christopher Rants said, “Iowans want them gone. They wanted them gone yesterday. They didn’t want them gone two years from now” (March 17).

I will expect him to act with equal speed and vigor in attacking the other nuisance that has proliferated in our state — hog factories.

Iowans want them gone. We wanted them gone yesterday. We don’t want them gone two years from now. I am thrilled that Rants is finally seeing the light, and I anxiously await his bill to ban hog factories.
— Carol Dupic, Emmetsburg.
