State Issues from Tom Sands

News from the Hill…

We have completed the second week of the extended session with some progress being made.   There are eleven appropriation bills, two have been sent to the Governor for his consideration, eight are in conference committees, and one is still left to debate in the Iowa House.

This has been one of the most difficult sessions of the thirteen I have been in the Iowa House.  There have been more points of personal privilege on the house floor this year than all the other years I have served combined.   Many of these points of personal privilege have been with a sharp partisan tone.  The partisan bickering during debate on the House Floor has become quite old as well.  Some of the emails, letters, and phone calls that I have received, but certainly not all, have reflected some of this same partisan tone.  I find this to be very disappointing and distracting from what really needs to be discussed.  Our Government at all levels has grown to a size that is not easily sustainable.  Too many just automatically think they should have more and to heck with everyone else.  I have always run on the premise of being able to stand and make the tough decisions, even when they are no longer popular.  But that sure can be a lonely place, until you find out that the silent majority is there with you.

The fiscal condition of our state is one of the best in the Country, and that is something we all should be proud of.   But what I hear from too many is the following: “You guys should be spending your reserves.”  It will never cease to amaze me of the lack of fiscal discipline and fiscal responsibility of too many in our society today.   The idea of living for today no matter what it may cost somebody in the future has got to stop.

However, there is still much to look forward to, especially with the approach of High School and College Graduations.   Young people will be embarking on a new chapter in their lives.  With this threshold being crossed there can be new hope and new dreams to help make this world a better place.  I am not sure they will be entering a world as good as the one I entered several years ago, but maybe that opinion is something shared by each generation for those who follow.  I do know this, I am proud to be a Christian, American, Iowan, and Conservative.  But I am most proud and humbled to be able to serve you in the Iowa House.

“There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. ‘Good pride’ represents our dignity and self-respect. ‘Bad pride’ is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.” John C. Maxwell

Until next time,

Tom Sands
