State Institutions Reported as Mismanaged Under Bills
A lengthy Iowa committee report accuses state asylums penal and educational institutions of wasteful spending, weak oversight, and mismanagement. It calls for a central supervisory board, reduced trustee powers, uniform accounts, and tighter control of per capita funds to curb extravagance and improve governance across mental hospitals, schools, and prisons. The document outlines specific abuses, including per diem misuse, gas contracts, and noncompetitive bidding, with recommendations for legislative amendments and budget reform.
