C.R. large enough for 2 license stations

With our city population in the area of 130,000 or more, why don't we have two driver's license stations - one east and one west? Just as westsiders had to go nearly to Marion, now everyone way east will drive 15 to 20 miles to renew.

Has anyone noticed that Iowa was voted the third-best run state with North Dakota No. 1? Probably the media doesn't like to give Republicans any credit.

At voting time in November, remember who voted for the disaster of Obamacare. Lots of people signing up are going for Medicaid, putting us forever more in debt. These do-gooder elected officials should donate the $5,000 plus each family owes on our $17 trillion debt.
