Sen. Schoenjahn Helps Himself to Truck Load of Iowa Road Maps

If all goes as planned, the Iowa legislature could wrap up it’s session today. That means legislators will be packing up their things and heading for home. One legislator, State Senator Brian Schoenjahn, packed up more than just his belongings before he headed for home.

On Monday, Schoenjahn had two female pages load an ENTIRE PALLET of Iowa State Roadmaps into his pickup truck in the State Capitol parking lot. Why would someone need thousands of free Iowa road maps? Who knows, maybe he hands them out in parades or when door knocking his northeast Iowa senate district.  TheIowaRepublican.com is told that a box of maps costs the state $33.00.

It’s good to know that Iowa taxpayers are paying for his campaign lit. I’m sure these high school girls really enjoyed loading up his pickup truck too. What a guy.
