September 6, 2009
Bob Vander Plaats claim of being the "turnaround CEO" Iowa needs to lead the state out of its financial problem is being challenged by Rep. Chris Rants, a rival for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. "In every speech he gives, Bob says he was a 'turnaround' CEO at Opportunities Unlimited," Rep. Chris Rants of Sioux City said Tuesday, but "the facts show Opportunities Unlimited tanked financially during his tenure as CEO and Chairman."
