Rep. Patti Ruff, Senator Mike Breitbach listen to area concerns

About 20 people attended a listening post Saturday, March 15 at the Allamakee County Farm Bureau building in Waukon hosted by State Representative Patti Ruff and State Senator Mike Breitbach. Rep. Ruff said she is hopeful Waukon may be able to benefit from some one-time flood-mitigation funds to help offset the cost of the city's sewer project. Comments from those in attendance included expressing appreciation for the legislators' work in keeping Luster Heights open and concerns about the Legislature's failure to decide on Allowable Growth for education, railroad safety and infrastructure improvements.
