Spencer, IA (KICD) — Iowa’s State Auditor says the reorganization bill passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor eliminates checks and balances on power and the ability to track how public money is spent.

Rob Sand says in many instances, public officials directly oversee the people who are supposed to be keeping them honest.

Sand also addressed the education bill, saying private companies running schools are also protected from scrutiny.

Sand was in the KICD Broadcast area as part of his 99 county tour. He is currently the only Democrat to hold statewide office in Iowa.
