Letter to the Editor:

Governor Chet Culver told the joint session of the Iowa Legislature in his 2010 address, "I am happy to report that the Condition of Iowa is resilient because the people of Iowa are resilient."

Tough times? Yes, but the independent, non-partisan Pew Center ranked Iowa the second best managed state in the nation, and Iowa received high marks for fiscal management. As the 2010 Governor's race heats up, that is worth remembering.
