From SiouxCityJournal.com:
– The Iowa House debated a wide-ranging state government reorganization plan Friday as it attempts to find savings in lean budget times.
Democrats say their plan will save roughly $124 million, but they defeated a plan Republicans say would have added to those savings.
Rep. Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City, offered a list of 14 ideas he said would save $290 million. Those ideas included such things as selling the state’s vehicle fleet, eliminating taxpayer-funded lobbyists and selling or leasing the Iowa Communications Network.

IA: Republicans Get an Attorney General Candidate
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 September 2010 03:50 Written by rslcpol Tuesday, 26 January 2010 03:58
From the Iowa Republican:
The Republican slate of candidates for the June primary is almost set. Republicans have contested primaries for the Governor’s office, Secretary of State’s office, State Treasurer’s Office, and also have heated primaries in the second and third congressional districts. Regardless of the outcome, the Republican ballot in the general election will be strong. The winners of those primaries will join Senator Grassley, Congressmen King and Latham, Secretary of Ag Northey and Auditor Vaudt on the general election ballot.
Everything seems to be in place except for one glaring omission: who will battle incumbent Attorney General Tom Miller?
Enter Brenna Findley. Findley has opened an exploratory campaign for a run to be Iowa’s Attorney General.
Born, raised, and home schooled in Dallas County, Findley graduated from the University of Chicago Law School. Findley worked her way through the Iowa Statehouse and spent the last seven years as Congressman Steve King’s point person in the House Judiciary Committee.
