Be The Poll -- Big Lug's Bonding Plan
Mar. 13, 2009 11:41 am
Gov, Culver started a statewide tour today to sell his $750 million bonding plan, which he says will create 30,000 jobs. Money would be spent on roads, bridges, disaster recovery, schools etc.
So what do you think? The state does have alot of infrastructure work that needs to be done, but that's a lot of debt to pay off over the next 20 years.
And we've heard these kind of promises before. Gov. Tom Vilsack vowed in 2003 that his massive Iowa Values Fund would create 50,000 jobs in 5 years. Turns out that was a stretch.
So do you believe Culver's pitch and support his plan?
