Ron Corbett will correct the culture of indecision paralyzing Cedar Rapids city government. Corbett's proven experience as Speaker of the Iowa House is what Cedar Rapids needs.
As Speaker of the House, Ron Corbett built a consensus among representatives that produced sound decisions. Ron learned a representative's role does not end there. He artfully used the power of the purse and other means to insure that bureaucrats complied as instructed by the people's representatives.
After what Cedar Rapids has suffered, basking in the Zen of indecision must end. Ron Corbett is the man to lead us to a higher plain.
