Ray Imprint to Linger on Iowa State Agencies
As Governor since 1969 Robert D. Ray leaves a lasting mark with 1153 appointments to state boards and commissions. A Senate plan by Hultman and Jenkins would study the appointing process and reduce Senate confirmations, aiming for broader balance across agencies. Current records show 399 appointees requiring Senate concurrence, with Republicans 222, Democrats 123, Independents 54. Ray has also headed 20 state government arms, including the adjutant general's office, via Senate-approved appointments.
