The incumbent Governor of Iowa, Chet Culver, is currently running a television ad asking for another chance. This Letter to the Editor which I'm submitting to the Des Moines Register is my response to that:
As he is approaching this late stage of his re-election campaign, incumbent Governor Chet Culver is saying "honest mistakes" were made and now asks for another chance.
Not long ago he declared that film producers were "not going to make suckers out of Iowans" and stated his intent not to revive the film tax credits. If you ask the many people who benefited when film productions were here - restaurants, hotels, hardware stores, lumber yards, grocery stores, and many other businesses as well as the Iowans who were employed as cast and crew - it is doubtful that they would consider themselves to be suckers. Asking the same question to many who voted for Culver will yield a different answer.
Let's extend the same second chance as he is giving the Iowa film industry.
