Repeat Offenders
In this episode of ITR Live, host Chris Hagenow is joined by guest Sarah Curry to discuss Iowa’s upcoming bond elections, with a special focus on ‘repeat offenders’—local governments that continuously propose bond measures despite previous failures. The pair explore several case studies, highlighting how these proposals impact taxpayers and why voter engagement is essential in holding local officials accountable. They emphasize the importance of transparency in local government spending and the need for communities to stay informed about how bond measures could raise property taxes.
Throughout the episode, Chris and Sarah underscore the critical role voters play in shaping the future of their communities. They discuss how successful bond measures often come after extensive voter input and adjustments to initial proposals, stressing that respecting the voice of the people is fundamental to the democratic process. By engaging in local elections and staying informed, citizens can help ensure their tax dollars are used responsibly.
The conversation wraps up with a call to action, encouraging listeners to get involved in their local government by attending meetings, reviewing proposed bonds, and making use of available resources. The hosts also discuss how ITR Local aims to connect Iowans with crucial information about their local governments, fostering greater understanding and participation in decisions that affect community growth and fiscal responsibility.
