DES MOINES – Governor Branstad has put Mason City mayor Eric Bookmeyer back on the Vision Iowa board.
Gov. Terry E. Branstad recently announced appointments to fill Iowa’s boards and commissions, with several persons from the North Iowa area on the list.
The following appointees’ term begins on May 1, 2016, and are subject to Senate confirmation.
Real Estate Appraiser Examining Board: Vernon Greder, Mason City
Commission of Veterans Affairs: Gary Wattnem, Mason City
State Judicial Nominating Commission: Steve Sukup, Clear Lake
Soil Conservation Committee: Dennis Carlson, Hampton
Vision Iowa Board: Eric Bookmeyer, Mason City
Bookmeyer was last appointed to the Vision Iowa board back in 2014, when Branstad was a candidate for re-election. Candidate Branstad announced that he had named Bookmeyer to the Vision Iowa Board and then was named Grand Marshall in the annual Band Fest parade by the Chamber of Commerce, a backer of Bookmeyer’s.

Branstad just put a property tax reduction for small business owners in place last year – The pubic servants in Mason City destroyed that bill with the 100% tax increase for small business west of town. Sort of like Merlin Bartz and crooks did in worth county – gave a 11% tax reduction to farmland values and a !!% INCREASE in commercial property tax to small business owners. Very sneaky crooks being the supperviors own farmland.
If Branstad thinks this will get votes for his party he is wrong. The Republicans are wrong about a lot of things lately.
The mayor is a republican (RINO) lackey. Political appointments and perks such as these are the reward for being good little boys. The same is true with city council persons who vote themselves property tax breaks. No wonder Trump and Sanders are so popular.
his vision is to see how much food and booze he shove into his fat ass.
In all fairness, I seen him shovel it all into his mouth. We have to be accurate here at NIT. He shovels booze, food, snow cones, and God knows what else into his mouth, not his nether-regions.
