Keep library at Westdale Mall

For people traveling I-380 you know that if you set your cruise control at 8 miles an hour above the speed limit you can drive all the way through Cedar Rapids and not get tickets. There is nothing more dangerous than two idiot drivers driving 55 mph side by side with traffic backed up behind them, afraid of getting ticketed.

The west-side library needs to be kept at Westdale Mall. Move it to the county office. It has already been remodeled with new wiring. It has a loading dock, will hold 150 pounds per foot, has windows and outside doors and warehouse and room for fireplace. It would still be convenient for everybody including seniors and children.

Do you know that much of the Sinclair property will be a $30 million frog pond after they build the flood walls? Army Corps say it will be a detention basin in case of flood on the south east side. Nothing will be built on it.

Sen. Chuck Grassley says super PAC laws aren't working, doing harm to the election process, need to be scrapped. This after voting against political reform laws. He woke up after watching Republican presidential wannabes destroy each other.

Isn't it nice to have farm ads for fertilizer and seed corn and tractors back on TV instead of Republican manure ads?
