Things Are Starting to Happen

A lot of different things are buzzing around Iowa right now. It started Friday with Governor Culver announcing that he would veto any gas tax that came to his desk and it's continuing as Matt Strawn, Iowa GOP Chairman, travels the state talking about all the bad bills circulating in the statehouse right now. And major props to Strawn because the DM Register wrote a positive article about how Iowa Republicans are moving up in the world thanks to the use of technology.



Around the Capitol today:

And quote of the day: “If a community can attract a retired person, that is the equivalent of attracting three-and-a-half manufacturing jobs to that community.” Senator Daryl Beall, D-Fort Dodge, after a Senate bill passed unanimously to make communities "certified retirement communities" if they apply for that designation.
