Good things are happening

Daily Iowegian

CENTERVILLE — Dear Editor,



The good news is here. So often we open the newspaper and find so much sad news.

I’m here to tell you that right here in our quietly progressive town, there are good things happening every day, and much of it is coming from anonymous people who saw a need and stepped up to take care of it.

For example, BOB’s group of concerned citizens who have taken an active role in this community, were pleasantly surprised when they were told that someone stopped by J&K and paid off our bill for the drive up dinner that we had two weeks ago.

Then there was the Good Samaritan who took it up on him/herself to cut down the unsightly weeds that were smothering the VFW building on the levy. What an improvement that is. 

Good things are beginning to happen more and more often.  We can’t begin to thank all of the people who have participated, but it makes a difference every day.  Kudos to you all and may the movement continue.

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
