Few Changes in Tate Offices in Iowa
Iowa state offices have few changes with a new auditor, Shaw of Tama, and deputy Gose of Greene replacing longtime officials. Selinger joins the Supreme Court bench with Whitney as court reporter from Sioux City, while most major offices remain unchanged. The board considers sterilization law amendments and relocate several departments outside the capitol as the state works to settle offices and adjust commissions and inspections.
