(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds signed an executive order late this morning creating an Iowa “Department of Government Efficiency” task force.
The Governor says the task force’s work will be organized around three broad goals: maximizing return on taxpayer investment, further refining our workforce and job training programs, and leveraging technology, such as artificial intelligence. Reynolds plans to appoint up to 20 business executives and local government officials to the task force. She’s already named the leader of the group. It’s Emily Schmitt, the chief administrative officer and general counsel for Sukup Manufacturing in Sheffield. R
eynolds will review the report from the Iowa DOGE task force and compile a package of recommendations for the legislature next year.
