Terry Smith

Terry Smith in IC Council Race

Mid-American's Terry Smith makes the official announcement for Iowa City council, looking to replace Bob Elliott both officially (as Bob is standing down) and ideologically (as the chosen one of the permanent conservative city controlling faction).
Smith served for six years on the city’s telecommunications commission and is in his second year as a member of the Iowa City planning and zoning commission.

Ah, P and Z, also a permanent stronghold of the that's-where-the-money-is faction.

Wonder if Terry will have $636,099.65 in Mid-American in-kind corporate contrbutions? That's how much the company's anti public power campaign had - more money in a city ballot referendum than either Loebsack or Leach spent in a congressional district race.

John, it sounds as if you have formed an oppinion about Terry based on his rate of success. You are trying to tear a man down for being involved inside the community, and a good business man.
