Republicans and Democrats in the Iowa Senate are calling for another independent investigation of activities in the Iowa Finance Authority. The review is to cover the seven years Dave Jamison served as the agency’s director, until he was fired by the governor for allegedly harassing female employees. Senator Michael Breitbach, a Republican from Strawberry Point, is chairman of the Senate’s Government Oversight Committee.
Governor Kim Reynolds last Friday announced she and the attorney general have arranged for a private attorney to investigate the agency. Senators are calling for a separate review. Senator Brad Zaun, a Republican from Urbandale, says Jamison’s alleged conduct in the office is disgusting.
Democrats suggested the investigator’s report should be completed in 60 days, but Republicans set December 1st as the target date.
Members of the Iowa House must now review the proposal to launch another investigation.
