A lot of people in Iowa are facing food insecurity. So instead of accepting federal funds to help people facing food insecurity, why not give them some old leftovers from the back of your fridge?

This week Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds gave her staff a large pay increase while blocking a min wage increase for low income workers & while denying low income kids free lunch.
Forcing kids & low income workers to go hungry while you rake in more money. Behold, Republican Jesus.🙄
