Golding says don’t fear the gridlock

The Cedar Rapids Gazette
So I casually asked Cindy Golding about her plan to shut down our state government.
OK, seriously. You’re a swell candidate, and all, but wouldn’t sending you to the state Senate mean that Iowa’s now merely dysfunctional legislative branch would become completely non-functional?
All molecular legislative motion ceases. Political absolute zero.
A Golding victory turns a 26-24 Democratic Senate into a 25-25 tie. At this daggers-drawn point in our politics, I’d be surprised if they could forge agreement on lunch. I half expect dueling morning prayers. Gridlock, meet Master Lock.
