Iowa Governor Vetoes Scope of Bargaining Bill
Iowa Gov. Chet Culver (D) on the union-backed bill to expand the scope of public sector collective bargaining in the state:
"While I have always been a strong supporter of workers rights and collective bargaining, a close examination of House File 2645 shows that it is not in the best interests of the taxpayers of Iowa to let this legislation become law. It is vaguely written with the potential for far reaching, unintended consequences that could obligate the citizens of Iowa to substantial new public expenditures. Therefore, I will veto the bill."
