“This year, we secured critical funding for flood-control, recovery, infrastructure, and immediate fixes for public safety,” said Gov Reynolds. “The legislation spans levees, drainage areas, and flood-control improvements, for individuals, businesses, and communities affected by this historic flooding. I applaud the legislature for their role in the timely approval for flood funding."
“I am proud to sign this compromise legislation reforming our process for selecting judges to give all Iowans a greater voice in the process,” said Gov Reynolds. “For the first time, a majority of the state nominating commission will be representing the people of Iowa instead of the Bar and Bench.”
