Five terms is enough for Terry Branstad

It's time to get out and vote for a new governor of Iowa. Do we want another four years of Terry Branstad? Let's look at some of the things he's done:

l Closed the young men's and women's juvenile home, what a sad thing. These people needed this care for their future life.

l Iowa City and Chicago wanted a passenger train and he voted it down. This could have taken a lot of traffic off our highways, which are overcrowded.

l The flood that damaged the dam at Lake Delhi, he wasn't concerned with getting that taken care of. Those homes have lost their value by 50 percent.

He says the state has surplus money. Why not look at our highway and bridges that need repair? Under his authority he has not done his job to get them repaired.

And in his fourth term he gave to some of his executives a bonus. They already get good salaries. When is he going to help the middle and Iowa class people, not just the rich?

Yes, folks, let's think when we go to the polls and get a new governor for Iowa. Five terms is enough. God bless Iowa.
