We had a great fundraiser at Paul and Linda Livingston's home. Ed Failor, Jr., President of Iowans for Tax Relief, had some great comments for the crowd and then I followed up with a few thoughts.

Here are my "thank you's" and introductions of attendees.

WOW! Packed house at the Victory Tour at Latham Headquarters. Great to hear from Governor Branstad, Matt Strawn, Matt Shultz, Brenna Findley and our own Dave Jamison. I got to speak along with Gartin, Bacon, Sevde, Deyoe and Twedt. I shared the fact that here in Story County, our Supervisors have spent $16.6 million in excess of revenues since 2006 and that in that same period we have borrowed $12.5 million for our children to repay. Lots of energy in the room...even one dem who was checkin us out.

Spoke to the Ames Conservative Breakfast Club this morning. Uploaded the entire talk (in four parts) to YouTube…please watch it here.

Part 1 of my talk - 8:32 - "Get Involved"

Part 2 of my talk - 4:15 "Government should ..."

I answer questions on the budget and open meetings - 8:24

Final thoughts - 9:59

In 2009 as we faced the worst economic conditions in a generation, the Supervisors raised our taxes $1.7 million
This year, the Supervisors once again increased taxes by over $800K!!!

For FY11 Supervisors budgeted to spend $5.5 million more than revenues

Since 1986 - Property taxes in Story Co. have TRIPLED

Our Supervisors continue to overspend, under-represent and take no responsibility

Story County needs a RESPONSIBLE change!
