Political Forecast: Is the CIETC scandal over? Lundby, Vaudt say no

Excerpted from this post at Political Forecast

Since I didn't feed your news addiction yesterday with CIETC updates, I'll add some of yesterday's stories into the stuff coming out today from the Register, which is still the only Iowa newspaper reporting the stuff.

From a nice little fluff piece on State Auditor Dave Vaudt, we learn that the FBI is supposedly finding out a lot more information and following a lot more leads in the CIETC controversy.

Still, he doesn't say if there has been anything blatantly illegal found, but I expect that at some point someone will find something. Newly elected Senate Republican leader Mary Lundby is saying the same thing and expects her party to begin the push to expand government in Iowa by creating an inspector's office to check into possible government abuses or create an office similar to the federal government's General Accounting Office (GAO).
