Reynolds pitches Iowa-style government overhaul to House panel
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds told the U.S. House Oversight Committee that Iowa's executive reorganization, cutting cabinet agencies from 37 to 16 and eliminating 600 jobs, proves government can operate more like a business. She cited reduced licensing times, faster unemployment rulings, and saved funds, while Democrats pressed Musk and Trump links and noted past misconduct settlements.

Iowa lawmakers push bill on civics education at public colleges
