Our government's financial challenges go far beyond the Republicans and Democrats... as Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn appropriately said, "More and more, people are worried about our fiscal future."
House Republican Leader Kraig Paulsen (R-Hiawatha) today issued the following statement in response to Governor Culver’s recent vetoes and budget bill signings:
“After all the talk of budget cuts and not raising taxes, it’s very
regrettable the governor failed to use his veto pen to protect Iowans’
pocketbooks. This governor just finished signing significant
overspending and what amounts to the largest general fund spending in the
history of Iowa. Furthermore, it raises multiple fees and will definitely
result in Iowans paying more in property taxes. During these tough
economic times we should be looking for ways to help Iowans keep more of their
money.” - Iowa House Minority Leader Kraig Paulsen
As was mentioned... our fiscal future will be an important public policy discussion in the coming months and years. Taxpayers need to get involved in the public discussion with lawmakers and with their neighbors. A good source for information and dialogue is linked here.
