Wednesday, April 13, 2022 the Van Buren County SAFE Coalition hosted a visit to Van Buren County by Senator Chuck Grassley for a question and answer time with high school students, community and coalition members. This meeting was part of Senator Grassley’s annual tradition to hold at least one Q & A in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.
During the meeting Senator Grassley allowed the attendees to ask questions and share information on what was happening in their area of the community. The issues discussed included substance misuse prevention work and substance misuse issues in the county, agriculture, rural health care, school funding, what a day in the life of a senator looks like, how can citizens feel safe in today’s climate, etc. Each attendee was allowed a time to present their information to the Senator and ask questions of him. He also took time to ask questions of the individuals present about the work they are doing and issues they are facing.
The Van Buren County SAFE Coalition would like to thank Senator Grassley for allowing them to host this event and for coming to Van Buren County to interact with his constituents. The coalition would also like to thank all of the community members who attended the meeting and added to the active and productive dialogue.
