Lt. Gov. Reynolds going Argentina & Uruguay

[47of74]

Saw this today;

Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds is planning a trade mission to Argentina and Uruguay in October, a trip designed to expand trade and investment opportunities for Iowa businesses.

Reynolds said Monday that Argentina has recently reopened trade and is accepting imports again after four years of closed markets. She says there's a new demand for technology and equipment that Iowa companies can explore.

The trip also will target Uruguay's open trade policy in an economy that has been growing.

Reynolds says Iowa exported a record $15.1 billion in goods in 2014 showing the state is prospering from international trade.

I wonder if the teabillies who whine every time a Democratic official here in Iowa goes on one of these things - even if there's no public funds involved - will have anything to say about this? Probably not. They're only fiscal conservatives when it suits their needs.

1. They won't even peep--and they certainly won't squeal.

Their own gluttonous hogs feed freely at the public trough.

Wonder if the financials of this junket will be available via FOIA for public inspection?
