Several days ago journalist Steven Rosenfeld authored an article that referenced the millions and millions of dollars being spent by states to lure already successful businesses to their borders and then come out with a net of nearly zero jobs. We asked him to look at Iowa and invited the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Tim Whipple to help explain the process here. An interesting interview and discussion.Then former Montana governor Brian Schweitzer was in town and we sat down with him to talk about taxes, running government like a small business and his thoughts about the minimum wage discussion.Insight on Business the News Hour is heard live Monday - Friday between 5PM and 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.
