Let me tell you a few things about king and why so many people, including some of his own constiuents do not like him.
First of all he runs and hides when it comes to people peacefully protest outside of his Sioux City office. He has also taken off out of the back entrance to his office when someone walked in, asking to peacefully talk to him about something they do not agree with. When ever an appt. is made for someone to talk to him and he finds out it is going to be seomthing someone will peacefully confront him, the day of the appointment he disappears and the person is asked to reschedule when they show up at his office.
He refuses to hold or participate in public debates with his opponents when he is campaigning. There was one such incident where a debate was organized by his opponent and his opponents party. All king had to do was show up. He didn't.
king has proven himself time and again to be a coward.
Iowa State Highway 20 which runs from Sioux City to Dubuque is 4 lanes in some areas and only 2 in others. Work and funding has been on going to make it 4 lanes all the way through as it should be. king has claimed he was the only person who obtained the funds to do so and that it is now complete. That is the biggest lie yet. He was NOT the only one involved in the funds that have been obtained for hwy 20 and it is far fomr being 4 lanes all the way through.

You've obviously got issues with him and maybe they're justified, I don't know. Your rants about the man, without independent corroboration, are just that, rants.
So what I do know, assuming his letter is real, is that I agree with his position on this issue.

Sounds pretty typical of politicians.

You don't get it and obviously missed the point.
To the others should I explain it to him or leave him hanging?

First, yes I am biased because I am a Democrat and do not agree with king's republican methods and proposals. Second I posted what I did about him to try and convey what his character is like. Bottom line is the man is a coward at facing opponent takes sole credit when there was a lot more people involved in helping with funding for something more than he was.
How does that tie in with his attitude toward the federal govt. requireing the states to impliment this? Well sometimes the states need a little incentive to get something done that will benefit all. In this case the state of Iowa will never impliment this at the rate things are going unless there is an incentive to do so by the fed. govt. king's character and attitude toward this says a lot about him. There are thousands of people in this district who want him out of office, including his own consituents, who are now former supporters of his. He has pissed off a lot of people in this corner of Iowa.
