1. The governor has done a lot of damage to Iowa schools with more planned for 2018.

I can't understand how he keeps getting elected. It appears to me he is trying to emulate Scott Walker and that is not good.

Even if he finally goes to China, his replacement will carry out his orders. IMVHO, he has never been a good governor.

Good luck in your new community. Our schools are having drastic cuts, as well, and those teachers left in their positions will have to absorb the duties of those who were cut. It is a mess.
