99 is a number of alliterative awesomeness. Toeing the line between small and big, defiant, a Goliath of David's. It is an rite of passage for the most determined of Iowan politicians (not to mention a few Presidential hopefuls) to hit all or most of the counties before election day. County count is also one area where Iowa towers over most other states as only 8 states have more (TX of course has to be the biggest)
I have heard wind of talks of consolidation of counties to address budget woes and shrinking populations in the most rural of counties. In the first political stance of this blog I encourage any Iowans reading to resist such a change. Fiscal sense does not always make sense and in this case I am of the mind that 99 must stay.
