Radio Iowa reports that Governor Culver is visiting troops in Iraq today:
Iowa Governor Chet Culver is in Iraq visiting soldiers today. The governor talked about that trip in a noon conference call with reporters.
Culver says he met with guardsmen and reservists from Iowa to learn about the things they are doing. “It was a wonderful day, I really had a chance to sit down and visit with a large number of Iowa soldiers,” Culver says.
Culver, a Democrat, used the call as an opportunity to push for legislation he says will benefit soldiers. He says the top priority is the “Trailing Spouse” legislation which would allow a spouse of those who are serving in Iraq or Afghanistan to receive education benefits to go to school.
