DES MOINES -AFSCME Iowa Council 61 President Danny Homan issued the following statement regarding the legal filings made by the governor on Wednesday in the Mental Health Institutes lawsuit:
"Our attorneys are currently preparing a response to the legal filings made by the governor Wednesday. They hope to be able to make that filing by the end of the week. Based on quick review of the governor's filings, they appear similar to claims that the governor has made in prior cases. We hope that the Iowa District Court of Polk County, after reviewing the governor's filings, will dismiss them and allow the case to continue."
