Condition of the State Address
Today the Governor gave his annual Condition of the State Address to a joint session of the Iowa General Assembly. The Governor has elected to wait until the end of the month to submit his budget to the General Assembly, but he did implore the legislators to do everything they can to help Iowa's public universities through this budget year.
As you probably know, the budget process this legislative session will be incredibly difficult as the state has had declining tax revenues for quite some time.
