Iowa Senators Engage in Military Budget Battle
Iowa's U S Senators Culver and Clark plan active floor and cloakroom roles as the Senate weighs a 25 billion Pentagon procurement authorization. Culver helped trim 4.8 billion from the measure and urged further cuts, arguing security hinges on military strength, citizen resolve, and strong domestic institutions. He cited NATO inspections as a concern, calling the alliance setup a mockery and advocating meaningful fighting force reforms.

Push Social Services Split Up Des Moines lawmakers weigh agency break up
Sentiment grows in the legislature to reorganize the state department of social services into four or five agencies. A senate interim study resolution, signed by 28 senators, signals support for breaking up the agency while noting no partisan fault with Social Services Commissioner Kevin Burns. The department, consolidating two prior agencies, oversees prisons, mental health and numerous facilities, and its broad scope fuels calls for division into corrections, mental health and retardation, assistance programs, and licensing.
