Vilsack Unsure About Law Concerning Eminem's Domain

From Radio Iowa:

Governor Tom Vilsack says he can see both sides of the argument over a bill that would curb local governments' ability to seize land for economic development projects. Vilsack must take action by the end of the day on the bills passed by the 2006 Iowa Legislature, and the governor says he's "struggling" over his decision on that particular bill.

Considering that HF 2351 passed the Iowa Senate 43-6 and then the Iowa House 89-5, I don't think Vilsack has much of a choice here.

Remember that Vilsack signed the English-only law in 2001 and it passed the Iowa Legislature by a significantly smaller margin, but the real driving force on that issue was polling data that said that 81% of Iowans supported English-only.

Once Vilsack signs the anti-Kelo bill into law it's not like he's going to have to grovel to The League of Cities and the 17 largest chambers of commerce in Iowa like he did to all the pro-illegal, slave-wage supporting Latino groups in 2004. Vilsack will only have to answer to our favorite civic thug.
