    Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide What’s At Stake In The 2018 Elections Elections matter. We only have to look back a few years to see what the difference is between having a Pro-Second Amendment majority and having anti-gunners in charge in Des Moines. We spent years passing good gun bills in the Iowa House only to see them die in committee in Mike Gronstal and Rob Hogg’s Senate. The Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) went to work in 2016 and helped flip the Iowa Senate. What difference did it make? In 2017, Iowa passed the most significant Pro-Second Amendment bill in Iowa history. HF-517 accomplishments include: • Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns • Permit Privacy • Preemption • Stand Your Ground • Emergency Powers • Capitol Carry • Supervised Youth Handgun Shooting • Permit Renewal Improvements • Uniform Permit Format In 2018, we took the first steps necessary to recognize - under strict scrutiny - the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa Constitution. These successes only happened “ because of the support and “ activism of people like you! Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide Not everyone was happy with these improvements in Iowa law. In fact, we saw an unprecedented number of gun-control proposals made in the Iowa Legislature during the last General Assembly. Anti-gun bills included: • HF-2145 Reverts to “May Issue” Weapons Permits • HF-2181 Imposes a ban on private firearm transfers • HF-2180 Extreme Risk Protective Orders • SF-2025 Gun Free Zone Enforcement • HF-157 Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Ban These ridiculous gun-control measures never saw the floor for debate because the anti-gunners didn’t control either chamber.

Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs.

  • D Nelson-Stastny Pred. Pallids
    Appendix D Selected Introduced and Native Fish Species of the Missouri River in South Dakota and their Potential as Predators of Pallid Sturgeon Prepared for In Re: Missouri River System Litigation (03-MD- 01555)(and associated litigation) Prepared by Wayne Nelson-Stastny 20641 SD HWY 1806 SDGF&P Missouri River Fisheries Center Fort Pierre, South Dakota March 2004 Introduction This report discusses several native and introduced species to the Missouri River that have increased in abundance or have become important components of the fish community in the mainstem of the Missouri River in South Dakota. Because of the changes in the fish community, whether through increased abundance of a native species or stocking of a nonnative species, concern has been expressed regarding the potential impacts to native species, in particular predation on pallid sturgeon. Therefore, this report examines the reasons behind the changes to the fish community, the changes to the fish community itself, and individual species ecological characteristics. Lastly, the potential for predation of selected species is reviewed. General Change in Missouri River Four mainstem dams, Oahe, Big Bend, Fort Randall and Gavins Point, have dramatically changed the Missouri River that either passes through or borders South Dakota. The Missouri River was often referred to as the “Big Muddy” because of the turbid waters and sediment load. This characteristic was due in part to the two spring floods characteristic of the Missouri River that annually reorganized the river complex of chutes, side channels, back waters and sinuous main channel. A floodplain consisting of highly erodable soils and a relatively low gradient also added to the diversity of habitats and turbidity of the Missouri River (National Research Council 2002).
