Econ. Development and IA Gov. Candidate Fundraising
Work has been busy as heck; annual review and some interesting prospects that need to be won. I've been really tired in the evenings and sleeping in, so not much posting activity.
There should be some very interesting Clinton economic development news breaking soon. One item is more or less a done deal and would be a very nice piece of add on business growth. There is something else that is rather amorphous in nature (the prospect wishes to remain anonymous at this time) but the scope looks rather large. As in any sales effort -- which is what this is at the end of the day -- nothing can be banked on until pens meet paper and holes are dug in the ground.
Politics seems to be on a bit of hiatus until the traditional Labor Day starting gun sounds. The gubernatorial fundraising disclosures came out last week. Krusty Konservative did a write up (bless).
The good news for Culver is that he is at rough parity with regards to cash-on-hand. The bad news is that he looks like a tool of special interests and rich people. Kida hard to run against Nussle as a tool of special interests and rich people when you get a quarter of your cash from PAC's and only have 236 Iowa contributors compared to Nussle's eight percent and 2901. That's kinda f****d up.
