"If I Were King..."

Say your county has a convention center and exhibition hall that's losing over a million dollars of the taxpayer's dollars a year? What do you do?

If you were the King, like crooked Polk County Supervisor John Mauro wishes he was (and sorta is....) you'd move a few shells around in order to spend at least $35 million to expand and upgrade the "aging" (aren't we all?) 22 year old building - at least according to this story in today's Des Moines Register.

If I were the King of Polk County, John Mauro would be in prison.
