Facts help shed light on Gregg's resignation. Makes the November Constitutional Amendment very timely for discussion and decision. Thanks for your indepth reporting Laura. Your Dad's pie analogy is
Over the years I have learned to ask the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board about things like this because their interpretation of certain state laws is not always what I would assume.
In response, I offer the following, personal "takeaway": "A Tale of Two Banks", paraphrasing a book of similar title by Charles Dickens---
(1) The "Banks" Mr. Gregg will service/represent, as President and CEO of the "Iowa Bankers Association"
AND----
(2) The "Food Bank of Iowa"---article, May 15, 2024---"Nealy 11% of Iowans (1 in 9) and 15.4% of Iowa children (1 in 6) face food insecurity...Highest food insecurity since 2017...".
The rumor I keep hearing is that Reynolds intends to make Breanna Bird her successor, and that Kimmy wants to move on to something federal, either in a Trump admin., or possibly replace Grassley when he retires. All I care about is having Reynolds gone, except that she is likely to be replaced by someone even worse, same as Terry was..
I hate to even say this, but I heard a rumor (and yes, that's probably exactly what it is) that he quit because Reynolds started drinking. The person who said this, said she heard it from a "credible source." I doubt that, but was curious as to what you think. Thank you.
I have not heard anything about that and wouldn't put much credence in that rumor. My understanding is that he has been unhappy in the job for a long time.
Thanks, Laura. I wondered what it must have been like to be the smiling mannequin standing behind Reynolds. You made many good points.
Love the voiceover—you have a great voice to listen to and it really conveys your enthusiasm and knowledgeability!
Thanks for listening! I can't promise I will do this for 100 percent of my posts here but I will try to do it when possible.
Great analysis.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the insightful, informative article.

Great insight on the two-year "ban"--who knew?

Thanks for the deep dive on this, Laura. We have been traveling and missed this news.
It's been a while since something that unexpected happened in Iowa politics. Safe travels!
Thanks for keeping us informed, Laura!
Oops... analogy us fitting
I remember hearing him say it quite a few times. Don't assume some opportunity will still be around in a year or two when you feel more ready for it.
Thanks for your informative article.

Thank you. And believe me, I thought it was a rumor, but this person was convinced.
