Whew! Thank you for your diligence in keeping us up-to-date on IA politics. So sorry I don't always get it read. Some initial comments on this article: 1) I'm one Iowan who is not concerned about Joe Biden's age. He has done a magnificent job this first term and I'm ready to give him a second term. I also believe if something happens to him, which could happen to anyone, that Kamala Harris could step up to the plate and do a good job. 2) The consolidation of boards and commissions. The IA Commission of Libraries is very concerned about making this commission an advisory rather than a governing entity. A quote from them about this considered change: "Without the oversight of a Commission, the work of the State Library has the potential to be one of the least transparent and most political in the country." 3) All marginalized groups? Horrible idea. 4) interested in reading more fully on the CO2 pipeline. Again, thanks, for your good work. Diana

I would like to see the full statement from the Iowa Commission of Libraries, if you have that.
