Kimmy's latest corruption

[47of74]

Ugh

Most of the members of a newly created COVID-19 economic recovery board are heavy donors to Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’ campaign.

At Governor Reynolds’ last coronavirus press conference, on Thursday, she announced a new executive order creating an Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Reynolds said the new board will help set the foundation for her legislative agenda in 2021 and serve as the “tip of the spear” to assess the economic effects of COVID-19 and to identify potential recovery and growth opportunities for the state.

However, a majority of the 13 member board has donated large amounts of money to Governor Reynolds campaign within the last five years, according to data from the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board. The average donation from those board members was more than $10,000.

Why am I not surprised?

1. Whenever I hear "growth opportunities" in this context

I think of grinning fat cats rubbing their hands together with anticipation.

2. Like medicaid privitization, this is another disordered and mismanaged situation.

And Governor Clusterfuck won't be held accountable.
