AFSCME Council 61: Working Iowans Will Pay The Price For Reynolds’ Power Grab
Des Moines, Iowa — AFSCME Council 61 President Rick Eilander issued the following statement after the Iowa House of Representatives passed government reorganization legislation that vastly increases the authority of Governor Kim Reynolds:
“Every Iowan and working family in this state values our democracy. We understand the need for transparent government. We want our elected leaders to be held accountable. The legislation promoted by Governor Reynolds that passed today will give her unprecedented power and give us, her constituents, less opportunity to use our voice in opposition.”
“Every Iowan should be alarmed that the legislature just gave Governor Reynolds a blank check to use political power in our state. We will continue speaking out. We will continue standing up for our members, public employees, and every working family in Iowa. And we will remind the Governor that she works for us, not the other way around.”
In Solidarity,
Melissa Speed
