Agree it's good to see his name on the list. Also Lynch's.

Todd was a reporter before he came to The Gazette, covering the Legislature. I don't know what the criteria for the list are, but a lot of his columns are more than just his opinion.

Yeah, I know. It seems like he's spent the majority of his life at the statehouse. I love the picture of him as a teenager with young Governor Branstad back in the '80s. I know that you probably disagree with a lot of his opinions, but you've got to admit that he's a darn good writer. And I agree, many of his columns are much more than opinion.
