That's if you can get here – and want to. If you get picked up for public intox in about 93% of the geographic Iowa you're going to jail. By, most likely, a sheriff's deputy.

And even if you can get a bed, with very limited exception both (psych and sobering) are entirely voluntary.

We offer those services here at great cost because we value the health of our neighbors, and I'm damn proud of that. But our facility served (unpaying, unbillable) residents of something like 87 of Iowa's 99 counties in the past year.

The psych wards are overfull with months (or years) waitlists and frequently turn out patients prematurely to clear beds for the next crisis. Sobering doesn't exist as a billable DX in Iowa, so the few facilities that offer it are hemorrhaging money to do so.

I think we're splitting hairs here, and yes we absolutely need a Reid replacement. What Reid understood that Schumer does not: you can't control the mob, but you can control the streets.

I can't control my caucus. The only power I have is to set the ground for our success.

Bingo. I'll be the first to holler about the votes that Pelosi whipped, but boy howdy, she whipped 'em well.

I don't know how it'll shake out either, but as I observed elsewhere, the difference between horse trading and hostage taking is one's willingness to kill the hostages, a lesson only the killers have learned.

I wish you were right. Certainly, the numbers are smaller in local races, but I have dollars amassing against me in every decision I take.

Put another way: it is the leader's job to establish circumstances that incentivize advancing the caucus. Lots of ways to do that, that don't involve control of the floor!

I'm the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, a backwater elected position in red Iowa. If your caucus leader can't keep the caucus from wondering off the nearest cliff, you done fucked up.

Correct, but I'd argue the job of the minority leader is to keep the caucus from wandering off the nearest cliff, whether a vote is involved or not.
