Chris Rants says Terry Branstad Raised Taxes 30 times
January 23, 2010
Chris Rants took aim at Terry Branstad’s record in an interview with The Iowa Republican. Rants highlighted Branstad’s deplorable record on taxes and spending.
Here's just a bit of what Chris Rants said:
Challenging Branstad is something Rants seems comfortable doing. He pointed out that the former governor has raised the gas tax, numerous fees, and the sales tax twice. In all, Rants contends that Branstad has raised taxes thirty times. He also said that general fund spending increased by 150% under Branstad’s watch. Rants . . .warns that he’s not the only one who knows Branstad’s record.
Hes right, everyone is starting to learn about Governor Branstad’s record. And the more Iowans are reminded of his record, the more they start to compare it to what candidate Branstad says on the campaign trail. Iowans know better than to believe Branstad when he says things will be different this time.
