The View From Here

The Iowa legislature is scheduled to resume on June 3. We will have some new protocols to follow, which are designed to reduce physical contact and allow distancing. Like many Iowans, I am eager to get back to work. Of course there is plenty I can do from home to prepare for our work in Des Moines. This past week I interviewed seven of the candidates for the Iowa Workforce Development Board (IWD). This board deals with unemployment claims and job training programs. Candidates are appointed by the governor but must be confirmed by the Senate.
