What's the matter with Iowa? Hypocritical governor Kimmi the Clown messes with local control, once an prized GOP principle

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 5/20/2025


Marissa Payne reports on Kimmi's dash of racism in her decision:
Several Iowa communities will soon have to dismantle their citizen police review boards that provide oversight of local law enforcement under a bill Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed into law. 
With Reynolds' signature May 19, at least five cities — Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Ames, Coralville and Dubuque — no longer can operate their citizen police review boards when the new law, Senate File 311, takes effect Aug. 16. 
The review boards in Iowa are a mix of decades-old panels and new ones that were created amid nationwide calls for police reform in 2020 after George Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis police officer.
