    GRUNDY CENTER — State Reps. Walt Rogers, Dean Fisher and Pat Grassley briefed a partisan crowd on legislation aimed at stopping the proposed Rock Island Clean Line during Sunday’s Preservation for Rural Iowa Alliance Stop RICL meeting at the Grundy Community Center.
    Rogers (R, Waterloo) said the legislation, which is still being drawn up, is designed to require that when a utility seeks a franchise in Iowa, a substantial amount of the energy must stay in Iowa.
    “I do not feel this is in the best interest of Iowa,” he said.
