As if making the claim that he wanted to keep the option of sending the State of Iowa into debt to pay for recovery efforts. Senator Gronstal has once again opened his mouth and manure has spilled out. According to an article on Channel 8’s website, Gronstal now wants to raise the gas tax to pay for recovery efforts. Yes you read that right, yesterday he wanted to go into debt, today he wants to raise taxes.

Evidently Senator Gronstal does not understand that the government needs to tighten it’s belt in tough times. He needs to learn that the citizen’s of this great state are not the governments private piggy bank that he can reach into anytime that he wants to raise more money. My fellow citizens, I feel deeply for those affected by this tragedy, but I am not willing to sacrifice Iowa’s future so that Gronstal and his cronies can have a little bit of comfort now.
Senator Gronstal needs to tighten the belt at the statehouse, he along with the rest of Iowa’s elected officials need to determine the programs that they are most willing to sacrifice. This will show if Gronstal is truly dedicated to recovery efforts in the state or whether he is addicted to the power to tax the citizens of Iowa.

This guy has got to go. When is his term up? 2008? 2010?
Now that is what I like to hear. People getting fed up and fired up. It is time to take down the liberal spending machine that is driving the State of Iowa to ruin.
I am so tired of raising taxes as being the solution to every problem in this state. Don’t they understand that they just create another problem while trying to fix the first problem?
Gronstal’s term is up this year, 2008. He has been in since 1984! That’s correct, not a typo: 1984!!!!
He is being challenged by Republican Mark Brandenburg of Council Bluffs.
