RIO Redecorates & Lottery Still on the Table


The Rebuild Iowa Office has come under fire recently for, among other things, paying $19,000 in new carpet for their office.
RIO’s Chief of Staff says that “the little $3 million our office is using or the little 3 percent of CDBG funds (Community Development Block Grant), I don’t think your average Iowan sees that as an issue.”

Since when is $3 million a "little" and not an issue? Tell that to the people still living in FEMA trailers.

And as you may have herd – nothing ever dies at the Capitol. This includes the idea of selling Iowa’s assets. Some lawmakers are hell-bent on selling our lottery for quick cash. Maybe Democrats should address their addiction to spending before selling their revenue source.
