EDUCATION/IOWA: “Last week, for those of you that don’t know what happened, a powerful hurricane-force winds pummeled Iowa, like, I guess, you haven’t really seen before… And schools here in Cedar Rapids were hit very hard. And many of the schools that plan to open are now going to be delayed — not for the pandemic reason, but for an unrelated reason that nobody thought would happen.
So, yesterday, I approved disaster — a disaster declaration for Iowa. You know that. And it was done in record time.”
