REPLAY LIVE CHAT: State government reorganization

Plans to offer early retirement for state workers, the sale of state assets and the merger of state government agencies are all being bounced around as possible ways to slash millions of dollars in state spending.

The Gazette's Des Moines Bureau is hosting a live chat Monday at noon to talk about the Iowa Legislature's state government reorganization efforts. Journalists will be joined by State Rep. Mary Mascher, D-Iowa City, and State Rep. Erik Helland, R-Grimes, who served on a commission studying reorganization ideas.

Please join us Monday at noon to share your ideas, comment or ask questions.
