Hush money witness got improper pay from Iowa DAS probe
Former state agency attorney Ryan Lamb received over 22635 in improper disbursements from the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, including 13098 for military leave and 9537 for excess vacation payout. The audit found policy gaps and recommended stronger time sheet controls and military leave compliance. Governor Branstad officials consult AG on reimbursements. Lamb testified in confidentiality settlements and left DAS in 2014 for private work.

U S Rep Dave Loebsack urges the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to deny or delay Iowa Medicaid's shift to managed care if needed to protect beneficiaries. He cites abrupt timing and the January 1 change for most recipients plus inclusion of hawk s in the plan. Branstad aides defend patient first and note lessons from other states as about 560000 Iowans rely on Medicaid.
