Ames Tribune: GOP Lieutenant Governor candidate Reynolds visits Ames
In only her second year as a state senator in the Iowa Legislature, Kim Reynolds got a chance to floor manage a bill that will make it easier for the state’s county treasurers to collect outstanding debt from state residents.
She said when residents who owe the state money, they are blocked from renewing their driver’s licenses and vehicle registration. But until now, the state doesn’t have a mechanism for people to pay their debts at the county level.
“We’re still working on the logistics,” said Reynolds, a former county treasurer, herself, and Terry Brandstad’s running mate in the 2010 gubernatorial election. “I worked on (the bill) with (1st District Democratic State Sen.) Steve Warnstadt, of Sioux City.
“This bill is a win-win,” Reynolds said as she wound up a Thursday morning campaign visit with about 80 supporters at U.S. Rep. Tom Latham’s Ames campaign headquarters. “I think you can stick by your core values and still cooperate to pass some meaningful legislation.”
