Precinct MaPs Available
Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz has announced
that for the first time, Iowans in all 99 counties can view
their county and city precinct maps online at http://
www.sos.iowa.gov/precinctmaps.
The precinct map feature is a comprehensive compi-
lation of both existing precinct maps that were created
by counties and cities as well as precinct maps created
by the Iowa Secretary of State's office for counties and
cities that were not already available online.
"This is the first time all o the precinct maps are avail-
able to Iowans in one place," Schultz said. "The"new
precinct map feature is another effective tool we are of-
fering to Iowa voters to make sure they have useful elec-
tion information at their fingertips."
The precinct maps on the Secretary of State website
are based on the 2010 decennial Census Bureau bound-
ary information and the city and county reprecincting
plans approved by the Secretary of State's office.

2014 Session Convenes
The new legislative session convened January 13.
Among the first orders of basiness are Governor
Branstad's State of the State address and the State of the
Judiciary address by the Chief Justice of the Iowa Su-
preme Court. The Governor is also presenting his bud-
get recommendations for the next fiscal year. Commit-
tee meetings are already being held. My committees for
this year are Appropl'iations, Judiciar Government
Oversight, and the Justice Systems Appropriation Sub-
committee. I am the Ranking Member (mean g the lead
Republican) on-both the Government Oversight Com-
mittee and the Justice Systems Appropriation Subcom-
mittee. I am especially pleased to be a member of the
Appropriations Committee, where I can continue work-
ing to be sure we spend less than the State receives in
revenue. You will probably recall that I was a member
of the House Appropriations Committee and was Vice
Chair of the Justice Systems Appropriation Subcommit-
tee, for the three years that I spent there.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concerns.
