I never thought I would see the day when a law was a suggestion. I guess if you live long enough you'll see a lot of things you never expected to see.
Governor Culver wants large construction projects to "consider" using project labor agreements. I don't have a problem with fair agreements, I have a couple of more things I think they should consider like equal pay for women and equal numbers of women working on the project. Why just consider a few things. After all guys, if you're going to actually start thinking you might as well think about more than just that one thing.
Bits and Pieces
Did you hear that Cedar Rapids City Councilman Chuck Wieneke actually called the smokestack at the former Sinclair Plant a phallic symbol? Is that how he views every smokestack in town or just this one. Maybe he knows something more about the meat packing that went on there than what we've all heard?
Linn County Supervisor Linda Langston wanted to put a Republican on the Linn County Conservation Board. He didn't make it. When it came up for a vote she wasn't present and the post went to a Democrat. Yep, nominated by the Republican, Brent Oleson. Who says we don't have bi-partisanship in Linn County! Congratulations Mike Wyrick!!!
