Excerpted from the Des Moines Unionist:

President of the local chapter of the environmental group Mark Wormwicker was less than pleased with the motel chain’s decision.

“It’s unconscionable, really.  We’re only asking them to leave the lights off until you arrive one night a year.  For them to not accommodate that request really speaks to their tone deafness on environmental matters.”

Wormwicker shook his head.

“Tom Bodett always struck me as a down to earth guy, too.”
