State Auditor Sand Claws Back at Corruption with New ‘Taxpayers’ Watchcat’ Seal
In a bold and unexpected move, Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand on Tuesday announced a major change to the office’s branding. Effective immediately, the State Auditor’s official seal will no longer feature the iconic “Taxpayers’ Watchdog.” Instead, it will be replaced with a new, feline-focused emblem: “The Taxpayers’ Watchcat.”“After years of tailing financial mischief, we’ve decided it’s time to paws and rethink our approach,” said Sand.

Hello, Iowa House District 84 from the State Capitol!
The Iowa House had another busy week, which was the eleventh into this year’s session. We passed 48 bills, and 18 were unanimous, 19 were bipartisan, and 11 by party line.This last summer, I received a call from a former Benton Community School District employee that the requirements for prospective bus drivers were pretty stringent and could be made a little less restrictive to alleviate the state-wide bus driver shortage.
