Fiegen brings out the 'good stuff' on Conlin

Tom Fiegen brought out the “good stuff” on rival Roxanne Conlin – after the last scheduled joint appearance of the three Democratic U.S. Senate hopefuls before the June 8 primary election.

Fiegen, a Clarence bankruptcy lawyer who has a practice in Cedar Rapids, had attacked Conlin's use of tax credits in a Des Moines Register-WHO-TV forum May 24 and later promised “more good stuff” including negative information on Conlin which didn't surface during her unsuccessful 1982 gubernatorial bid.

“That's simply not true, Conlin told Henderson.
