Government Reorganization Moves Ahead

The House State Government and Appropriations Committees have both approved a plan to eliminate waste in state government and deliver services to Iowans more efficiently.  The bill, Senate File 2088, will be debated in the Iowa House next week.

Combined with an early retirement package approved earlier this week, the state will save $183 million next year and $300 million over the next two years.
