Cardella makes sense on county spending

Some of our Johnson County officials seem to have forgotten that they work for us, it's not the other way around.

With that in mind, did you know the county supervisors have been on a spending spree in recent years? They have increased their budget a whopping 56 percent over the last four years.

The Democrat machine nominee for county supervisor has a track record of taxing and spending. It's more of the same tax-and-spend policy.

Lori Cardella was on the front lines in the battle against the county's desire to buy up unspecified land using $20 million of your money. Lori fought against the unwarranted one-cent local option sales and service tax this past summer. Her common sense leadership helped defeat the tax- and-spend measure in Coralville and missed defeat in Iowa City by just six votes.

Lori is determined to lower the cost of living in Johnson County by cutting taxes for citizens and private business. She's for the people, against bigger tax-and-spend government. Please vote Lori for supervisor on Jan. 19.
