Kirkwood Community College details its athletics and student activities funded entirely by student fees not tax dollars. Last year womens softball and mens basketball won state titles, baseball set a 25 win school record, with a total athletics budget under 25 000 as part of a 12.4 million college budget.
Periodic observations from Eastern Iowans express support for competitive athletics and a strong activity program at Kirkwood. The college notes no football plan, describes its small coaching staff, and explains athletic aid rules and private scholarships. A new recreation building is planned to house PE, commencements, community services, and events.
A proposal would grant future Iowa legislators the full right to legislate by allowing consideration of gubernatorial vetoes after adjournment. Currently the governor has 30 days post adjournment to approve or disapprove bills sent near the session’s end, effectively making the governor a legislator if a veto cannot be overridden. The plan aims to fix this constitutional gap and curb delayed veto power.
Robert M L Johnson advocates a concurrent resolution to adjourn after passage so bills can be engrossed signed by presiding officers and sent to the governor. If vetoed, bills return to the origin chamber for reconsideration when the General Assembly reconvenes. He questions one person veto power and cost of veto sessions.
