I addressed what you put to me. You said maybe I should run for office. I already have. When you begin answering questions I have put to you; maybe I will consider answering yours.

Notice how repub won't answer any questions put to him about reichert's record? Must not exist in his/her world!

I believe your premise is inoperative.  The research I've done today indicates that both the Iowa Senate and House will tie any reduction in property taxes for business (including small businesses) to increases in Iowa revenue.  In otherwords, after an initial reduction, any further reductions would be paid for by revenue increases, not by residential property tax increases.  So the "problem" appears to already be solved or will in all probability be solved.  The likelyhood that residential property tax increases will be needed to offset business property tax decreases  appears to be miniscule.  You can verify this yourself by a relatively easy search of the internet.  Next talking point please!

Hahn, probably.   He'll be in a district with a fellow R and at his age, will likely retire although he lives in the part of the district where the votes are and is a sure vote for whatever the R's want, so who can tell?

Lofgren, I wouldn't be so sure.   His district changes hardly at all.   Who can beat him now that he is an incumbent and has the big money behind him?

I'll see what the nit pickers say.
