Morris notes voter quotes about throwing out rascals and cleaning up Washington, but says neither statement clarifies misconduct. He proposes a federal agency to investigate government misconduct and an annual income and net worth disclosure for all elected officials and government employees. He favors automatic dismissal for any senator or congressman who interferes with a government contractor.
The secretary of state reports an 8.3 percent rise in voter registration in 25 Iowa cities where registration is required by law. About one third of the state's population lives in registration areas, with 1,709,049 residents outside these zones.

A town legislative committee finishes statewide meetings on public employees pension reform with four core recommendations including credit from initial state service, extended disability eligibility, salary contribution limits, and inclusion of elective officials in the plan.
