Iowa Social Services Commissioner Michael Reagen says proposed closures of 12 of 16 district offices would harm human services delivery. He notes $22.5 million in cuts already and 835 vacant positions while Decorah Carroll Creston and Spencer would stay open. Legislators Waldstein and Van Maanen floated the reductions as part of the two year budget review.
