Hey folks! Rita Hart here. |
|
|
I don't know about you, but I listened to Governor Kim Reynold’s Condition of the State speech on Tuesday and it was just depressing. From private school vouchers to tax breaks for the well-off and well-connected to taxpayer-funded settlements for their friends, and they are dipping into a savings account to pay for it. Republican chickens are coming home to roost. They know revenues are going down and they don't have a way to make up for it. |

Nothing in Governor Reynolds' speech indicated she is taking our state in a new direction as we face an ag economy downturn, persistently high prices, and a culture of corruption in Des Moines. Instead, Governor Reynolds and her allies in the legislature seem intent on catering to the powerful and the wealthy, not regular Iowans. Democratic legislators are ready to get to work solving problems and the IDP is already organizing to hold Republicans accountable for the path our state is on. We will never give up on our state.
