My wife Amanda and my son Owen went out for a walk today, and ended up at Colby Park here in Windsor Heights. Amanda sent me a picture message from her phone of a new sign in front of the job site for the new community center:
I suspect that the Culver Administration thinks that this will help them buy votes next year, but based on the conversations I have with my fellow citizens, it will likely backfire. The people of Iowa simply do not want more debt. They are frustrated with exploding deficits at the federal level and concerned about runaway spending here in Iowa.
Amanda pointed out that there used to be a sign near this job site that said “Your Tax Dollars at Work” (or something similar). This new one ought to instead read “Your Children’s Tax Dollars at Work.” I hope Owen gets his money’s worth.
