Let ‘em burn? The Des Moines Register reported:
Should Iowa farm buildings be subject to mandatory electrical inspections?
Yes, say some Democratic legislators and electrical contractors, who contend poorly installed electrical wiring creates hazards that endanger the safety of farmers, their families and their property.
No, say many farmers and Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, who has labeled such requirements a “power grab” by the Iowa Electrical Examining Board that overburdens hardworking Iowa farmers with unnecessary regulations.
The 11-member state electrical board appears divided on the issue, which will likely be decided at an Aug. 15 meeting. Farmers have sent more than 700 emails urging panel members to adopt a proposed regulation generally exempting farm structures from electrical inspections. However, residences and retail buildings would still be subject to permit and inspection requirements
It’s disappointing for something like this to become a BLEEPING political football, ain’t it?
