We start this week with words of support for Dave’s colleague at WHO-13 Jeriann Ritter who recently shared her battle with an aggressive form of ALS.

Our political discussion begins with Governor Reynolds’ use of an Iowa State Patrol plane for travel. The plane was purchased with COVID relief funds, and the governor has said it allows for more efficient use of her time. We get into the controversy, as well as a lot of background information.

We get into the Iowa Senate Appropriations Committee proposing a measure to provide continuing appropriations that would prevent government shutdowns similar to those in Washington D.C. This is viewed by some observers as limiting the governor’s powers in budget negotiations, and may be in anticipation of Rob Sand winning the governor’s race.
