🌽Cornhole Champions #7 - Condition of the State (with Gov. Kim Reynolds)

Toss some bags and talk through the governor's priorities for new Iowa laws. Bright ideas: Iowa DOGE, paying childcare workers more, banning cell phones, and pots of beans.

Once again, Reynolds has been mum about her priorities for the Legislature. The rough strokes of her plan finally got a public recounting Tuesday with the Condition of the State address.

To a packed Iowa House floor and repeated standing ovations, Gov. Kim Reynolds rattled through childcare and energy, Medicaid regulations and cancer research.

On this episode of Cornhole Champions, host Zachary Oren Smith chats with Iowa Starting Line’s community editor Amie Rivers about important takeaways form the governor’s proposals.
