Iowa Congressman Leonard Boswell spent some time in Pella Friday morning. Boswell was visiting Precision Pulley and Idler, where he met with roughly a dozen employees to listen to their concerns about several issues involving the Federal government; including health care and ways to help manufacturing grow. The workers also discussed Precision Pulley and Idler’s employee stock ownership program and the future of the company.
