Iowa delegates worry Families conference losing focus
Two Iowa delegates say the national White House Conference on Families is drifting from its original purpose to address broad family issues. They cite inflation, recession, dissolution laws, elder care, child and spouse abuse, and economic concerns as core topics. Iowa has 24 delegates with eight elected, eight appointed, and eight to be named by Gov. Ray, with appointments due by April 18.
