Iowa governor sued over budget transfer from emergency fund
Rep. Chris Hall filed in Polk County District Court claiming Gov. Reynolds and Department of Management director David Roederer conspired to unlawfully transfer 13 million from the Economic Emergency Fund to the general fund to balance fiscal 2017. Hall argues the shortfall was due to GOP mismanagement, seeks to void the transfer, and requests court costs. Reynolds and GOP spokespeople call it a political lawsuit.

Orrin Hatch to retire from Senate ending four decades in office
Utah Senator Orrin Hatch announced he will leave the Senate at the end of 2018, opening a GOP contest in Utah and positioning Mitt Romney as an immediate frontrunner. Hatch, 83, long a Trump ally and the Senate’s longest-serving Republican, said it is time to hang up the gloves. If Republicans retain the majority, seniority and leadership roles would shift, with Grassley reclaiming Finance Committee seniority and potentially Thad Cochran or Grassley next in line for the presidency pro tempore title.

MedPharm Iowa seeks secrecy for full medical marijuana application
MedPharm Iowa, the first licensed medical marijuana manufacturer in Iowa, sues to keep its full 465 page application confidential under trade secrets exemptions. The filing claims disclosure would destroy confidential security and operating details, risking irreparable harm to the company. The state provided a redacted version, and nine entities showed interest in manufacturing, with licensing limited to one additional maker and up to five dispensaries planned for this spring.
