Where there’s a will, there’s a way!! I know how to get the money for Iowa’s clean elections bill. And is it ever SWEET!
Look here: Plug the Wal-Mart Loophole
It’s real tax money that now gets slyly siphoned out of the state and turned into tax-free profits for Wal-Mart and other devious corporations who operate in many states. They shift their money around, turning Iowa profits into “expenses” that they “owe” to their other pockets in other states where the money is not taxed. Eventually it becomes untaxed profits.
The fix is a reform known as “combined reporting” and it could have brought us $99 million in the year 2002. That’s FAR MORE than the ten million that we supposedly can’t find for VOICE.
We know where it is and we know how to get it. What are we waiting for, more campaign contributions to Patrick Murphy from Wal-Mart?

interesting idea
Too late to get anything done on it this year, though, unfortunately.

Never say "DIE"
Iowa CCI is still canvassing and phone banking this weekend. They must not think it’s too late.
It passed committees in both houses and went to appropriations committees. All we need is for Gronstal and McCarthy/Murphy to bring it to the floor. We know how to get the money now (see above).
