With their numbers in decline they need to find new money sources. My irritation is that this is being handled almost subversively.  "it's a study bill"  "can't we talk about it?" I need to write a new post on this soon because it is moving through the legislature as quickly as Jeff Kaufmann said it would. There is no good thing I can see for employees, economic development or anything related to business growth. The only reason it's being pushed is Iowa is becoming a new test case for the Union power bases to see if they can get the law passed. Unions are taking credit for Democratic gains in the legislature, which I don't believe is true even though they did spend a lot of money. It’s a good thing for Unions.

I am asking what his feeling is about the Right to Work state. I do not understand how people feel that eliminating this is a good deal and that it reaches such levels within any state. We went through the same thing in Oklahoma and luckily it got voted down. It has always been shown that it has a negative affect on states and yet it seems to keep life. Any thoughts on how this is promoted to be created as a good thing? I have already started my contact with Representative Kevin McCarthy.
