From Tailgates to Tax Relief
from ITR Live: Iowa Politics and Conservative Policy · host Iowans for Tax Relief
The annual Iowa-Iowa State football game has become a magnet for political figures, especially so in the lead-up to the Iowa Caucuses. From mingling in the crowds to conversations under the tents at the tailgates, this event was crawling with Republican presidential candidiates including President Donald Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Governor Doug Bergum. Last Saturday, Iowa was the center of the political universe. We also take a disconcerting look at near total agreement between ITR Live and the Des Moines Register's editorial board. We both share strong reservations about the use of economic development incentives for the construction of a new minor league soccer stadium in downtown Des Moines.
