This week, Troy gives his report on his lobbying experience at the Statehouse last week which involved personal conversations, a trip to the very top of the golden dome and the subsequent geothermal effects that followed. This, of course, led him down the rabbit hole of thinking about lobbying in general and specifically the lobbying that revolves around government subsidies in the Green Energy movement. Is there a way we can generate some thermal energy credits for ourselves while wearing woolen turtlenecks? Maybe. Oh, and there's a cat tower in this diatribe as well.

This week, the Sunnyside of Life journeys to Iowa's Capital to advocate for public schools. Troy's take on public education predates his own life, dating back to Boston, 1630, with the original public school and his family's role in it but that's not what this is about. This week, Troy will once again visit the Iowa Statehouse and this time he's bringing stickers that say: "FOUL! HF 1 VOTE NO!" It's fun to be a retired guy, school board president, and podcaster with connections. Call it like you see it and let your legislators know - HF 1 is a FOUL bill!
