Miller rails against grand spending and Great Society
Sen Jack Miller told a Washington County Republican rally that spending more does not create a great society and warned against a federal overreach.

The program’s aim and cost were framed as waste and extravagance, with calls to boost state programs and local welfare structures. The gathering drew about 250 attendees, with Fred Schwengel of Davenport urging support for Republican candidates.
