Today's Lunch 'n Learn was with David Roederer, the Director of the Iowa Department of Management. He works closely with the governor, especially with the budget. The department supervises the executive branch (underneath the governor's office). Something very interesting I learned was that there are roughly 40,000 people in Iowa that work for the executive branch. This includes the universities, DOT, public hospitals, education, and everything else other than the legislature and court systems.
After two hours of caucus, HF 646, HF 648, SF 120, SF 122, SF 123, SF 194, SF 205, SF 286, SF 389, SF 393, SF 399, SF 428, and SF 453 were all debated and passed. The house adjourned at 11:45 pm, 15 minutes before they must stop debating (unless the rules are suspended).
