Congressman Kraig Paulsen?

The Coralville Courier has an article titled Congressman Kraig Paulsen comments on Governor Culver's hypocrisy. Hmm.. Congressman Paulsen — I like the sound of that.

I think they mean Representative Paulsen, our new Iowa House Minority Leader. In the article Kraig takes on the governor's hypocrisy in appointing a commission to spend $1,000,000 on a task force to study Independent Contractors. As Kraig points out, this is taking place at a time when the state is forced to make extensive budget cuts.

Paulsen says:

I am amazed that the governor doesn't think the 2,600 new state employees he authorized in the last 2 years are enough. Further, these additions the governor proposes are being made to address an issue that I have yet to receive a single constituent contact on.

This is the kind of fiscally responsible message that we need to keep in the forefront. Keep up the good work Kraig!
