Something's happening here

Need more proof that presidential candidates are hearing from our county officials?

Essential Estrogen, an Iowa-based blog has this on a recent Richardson trip to Cedar Rapids:

Linn County Supervisor Linda Langston asked how Richardson viewed the relationship between federal, state and local governments, especially in relation to funding for community block grants.

Richardson lamented the federal government's lack of funding for local and state projects "which were working and making a difference."

"I believe one of the best things we can do is make government more efficient," he added. "We need to cut the red tape and bureaucracy."

Good answer, Governor!
