League Forum: Last of the Last
Tail end of the league forum here. LWV rep asked about public finance "clean elections" bill; all were supportive.
All in this case means Jacoby, Mascher, Dvorsky, Bolkcom. The GOP is again conspicuiously absent. Foege's at the 2nd CD convention. More on that later.
Oops, it appears Republican Dave Miller was here - as Jacoby notes. He thanks Miller for showing up but points out the yearlong absence of Greiner, Kaufmann and Hahn.
Tom Jacobs, president of Iowa City Labor Fed. Thanks legislators for wind energy legislation. Wants performance standards for corporations taking corporate welfare - applause. Bolkcom discusses corporate accountability.
Mascher announces that the kids aren't here - the teacher who brings the kids just had a baby.
Bob Welsh, local minister and senior advocate, gets the last question. Long term health care.
Whish I'd been here for the whole thing. Next post will explain.
