We just want a wee bit more... really...

The Register thinks the Governor is on to something here. And they think it's: "Reasonable, realistic and - courageous".

"Vilsack outlined what must be done to restore vitality to Iowa."

Can you guess...? Come on now. What must be done...? You can say it. I know you can.

Raise taxes!

Whew... that's better now, isn't it?

And, what's at stake...?

Without more revenue, Iowa will ruin its good schools and universities, starve economic development, fail to provide essential services and abdicate stewardship of the state's magnificent natural resources.

Well... at least they're not hysterical alarmists.
