Statement from Iowa Federation of Labor President, Ken Sagar, in regard to Governor Romney’s visit to Iowa today:
“No wonder Mitt Romney is still struggling to gain the trust of Iowa voters – more than the 47% he infamously disparaged. The Romney/Ryan budget would hurt public schools and turn Medicare into a voucher program, which would be devastating to Iowa families. He is so out of touch that at the Denver debate he said “The place you put your money makes a pretty clear indication of where your heart is” – but unlike voters here in the Heartland, Romney’s money is stashed in places like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Switzerland and China. We have a very clear indication of where his heart really is, and it isn’t here in Iowa.” Ken Sagar, President Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.
