Iowa official awarded third $30K retention bonus
Iowa Economic Development Director Debi Durham received a fourth $30,700 retention bonus in June as part of a three year total exceeding $120,000 in bonuses.

Durham has driven major projects including Google, Microsoft, Facebook plans and a $1.8 billion Orascom fertilizer plant. She earned about $53,000 in travel in 2013 with trips to Brazil Chile and Europe.
