EAT MORE, LOSE WEIGHT

December 15, 2006

The Des Moines Partnership, our local chamber of commerce-like body, has issued its legislative agenda for 2007. It is the Partnership's usual crony-capitalism agenda, including support for municipal property seizures to benefit "economic development," new tax loopholes, and Vision Iowa make-work projects.
