Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn will be featured on PBS' Iowa Press program at 7:30 p.m. next Friday, April 10, and 11:30 a.m. Sunday, April 12.
Strawn has been active in promoting the Republican Party since his election, and he is an able spokesman. I continue to be impressed by his energy and passion. He is at the center of activity, and has a full schedule of appearances that will certainly make a difference in growing the Party.
That's one PBS program that will be worth watching!

Union-Friendly Bills
Another Legislative Forum in Maquoketa this morning, and it seemed like a rerun of the last forum in Maquoketa. Union members were recruited to speak in favor of the expansion of union bargaining topics and the selection of doctors by union members injured on the job. Of course, there were persuasive arguments why these bills should be passed.
We also heard persuasive arguments why prevailing wage legislation should be passed during the January Legislative Forum. But their arguments weren't even convincing enough for all the Democrat Representatives, as that bill did not pass. Beware of bills that benefit a minority segment of our population (union members), but may be harmful to business people and taxpayers in general.
Thanks to the Farm Bureau for sponsoring these Legislative Forums. Larry Jepsen does a great job handling these events.
