(Not the first time and won't be the last that Iowa legislators pretend to care about money in politics. - promoted by desmoinesdem)
One state representative wants you to worry about $3 gifts being given to him. While you are following that distraction, his majority leader can collect $1000 or more from utility companies, corn growers and car dealers. Those “campaign contributions” came in after the election.
Which will matter more? The $3 trinkets Koester points to, or the big bucks he ignores? And to think he says, “There is a climate where public trust of elected officials is on a decline . . .”
Is he curing the decline or causing it?

what a joke
but Radio Iowa gave him just the kind of headline he was looking for: Stricter limit on gifts to legislators considered.
