great quote from Joe Bolcom in there:
"I don't how the Governor can sleep tonight after vetoing a bi-partisan tax cut that would have helped 240,000 working Iowa families making less than $45,000 a year. He is thumbing his nose at his own party and at middle-class Iowans struggling to recover from the national recession.

"Every penny would have been spent at Main Street businesses, and it would have helped Iowa recover from the deep national recession.

"The Governor is sending a clear message that he will only support tax cuts that give away hundreds of millions of Iowans' hard earned money to out-of-state corporations and the richest handful of Iowans."
