Fortunate & Un- Failures

It looks like the Bullying Bill languished and expired in the Iowa Legislature.
A fortunate failure, in that there are far cheaper means to address the issue, & no guarantee that a 1/2 million-dollar bullying office in Des Moines would remedy it. The Governor Brandstad's bullying style will be with us for a while yet. The Democrats & Wanna-Be Governor Hatch are making hay with his firing of workers. It seems a tad excessive on both sides, but then that's politics and the critical eye wonders this Friday morning how we should expect much of a positive nature from this shameful game. Like fairness to the underdog.
The most unfortunate failure has to be Senator Harkin's to float a bill to raise the minimum wage, to to $15, which would help the middle class regain some of the parity it has lost in the last 30 years. (Tho' Seattle is bringing forward such a measure.) But the 1% benefiting from keeping workers below a living wage has no compunctions.

Definitely keep a critical eye on them!!!
