Jack The Ripper

State Senator Jack ASS...err, Hatch, Dummycrat Des Moines, blasted Governor Branstad for his veto of a bill that allowed the city of Des Moines to increase its franchise fee on gas and electric bills from 5 percent to 7½ percent for up to seven years all to resolve a $40 million court order Des Moines has to repay for collecting an illegal tax on utility customers.

Jack ASS said -- “The guy hates cities”.

Branstad is the bad guy?

Des Moines collected an illegal tax and then spent money fighting it in the court's, for 8 years, all the way to the state Supreme Court.

City Manager Rick Clark, Mayor Frank Clownie...err Cownie and the City Council are the ones to be castigated.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.
