………… is the way to start the day. It looks like the United States government has decided that it will require you, the Iowa taxpayer, to repay the money that the CIETC wing of the Polk County Democrat Machine purloined. This means your state tax dollars (sales tax, income tax, etc …) will be used to repay the Feds for the CIETC caper.
Had the Feds taken a different position your federal tax dollars (FICA, income tax, etc ...) would have funded the CIETC heist.
Now I suppose that the state will try to pass the buck-quite literally-to the Polk County taxpayers, which means that your local taxes (property, user fees, etc …) would be allocated to CIETC repayment.
What is the shared “property” of all three sources of loss allocation? Why you, the taxpayer, of course. Coming or going the PCDM can find its way into your pocket.

That's some expensive nookie, eh, Archie?
Pretty expensive nookie for Dan Albritton too. Remember the boat they bot together? Now, he and she are indicted. How sweet.
Great improvements in the blog Uncle Teddy. I like seeing some REAL News.
The State has already started adding fees everywhere. Just today, I found out that I now have to pay the Iowa Dept of Insurance $6.95 a year to access their previously FREE website. I guess that isn't a tax increase right?
My house increased to an amazingly high value in one year, so there goes by property taxes, my school board is increasing their bite out of my wallet....and on and on. I can barely keep up with all this.
While I'm glad that CIETC and the PCDM is getting what it deserves, $1.2 million is just a small portion of the schemes of the past few years.
What about the repayment of an estimated $6.2 million of federal monies "misspent" by the Department of Human Services' Adult Rehabilitative Services Program? This happened back in 2005, and was reported by the Register on September 16, 2005. (The link I have doesn't work anymore, but the story is located in their for-profit archives. Search them for the above program name.)
And what about the looming potential for scandal over the Iowa Foundation for Medical Care, arising earlier this year? That's just kind of slipped away into the aether.
Just how many other programs have had federal money "misspent" into the coffers of not just the PCDM, but the IowaDM, over the past several years? I think Iowans would be shocked...
What about Creative Visions and Democrat Iowa Senator Ako Abdul Samaad? What about all that money HE gets to do nothing? How many taxpayer slush funds are there?
The CIETC scandal’s mounting costs to taxpayers has angered key state lawmakers.
“I think it makes us all look like we don’t know what we’re doing here,” said Sen. Tom Courtney, a Democrat from Burlington and chairman of the Government Oversight Committee.
“I thought we were getting to the end of this thing. I’m really upset over it.”
Iowans have been asked to repay about $1.2 million in federal money allegedly misspent by the Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium
“I think it makes us all look like we don’t know what we’re doing here,” said Sen. Tom Courtney, a Democrat from Burlington and chairman of the Government Oversight Committee.
A former board member of CIETC who shared a sexual relationship with Ramona Cunningham now is slated to stand trial with her on federal charges.
A grand jury Thursday charged Dan Albritton, 54, with conspiracy to defraud.
Prosecutors on Thursday added three new fraud counts against Cunningham and former CIETC accountant Karen Tesdell.
Iowa's gambling regulators plan to review federal conspiracy charges filed in an ongoing job-training scandal against a board member of Polk County-owned Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino.
Jack Ketterer, administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, said Dan Albritton could be suspended from any casino duties as early as next week.
Albritton, a former board member of the Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium, was indicted Thursday in an expansion of a federal fraud case that previously had snared four former CIETC officials and a supervisor at Iowa Workforce Development.
Officials at the South Central Iowa Federation of Labor, where Albritton is president, could not be reached Friday.
Shannon Cofield, president of the United Way of Central Iowa, said Albritton "requested a leave of absence" from his seat on that agency's board of directors last summer.
would be shocking but people are just so used to it, and democrats would support idi amin if he was a democrat (isn't ako the last king of scotland, sporer?)so they just keep rolling along.
all this shit swirling and the state and city are still giving john mauro millions.
