(Des Moines, IA) — Ten Republican governors say they are visiting the Mexican border in Texas today (Wednesday) “to witness firsthand the crisis playing out.” Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is in that group. A spokesperson for Reynolds says it’s an official visit and taxpayers will be responsible for about 500 dollars to cover the cost of lodging for the governor and her staff. The Republican Governors Public Policy Committee will pay for transportation. In addition to Reynolds, governors from Texas, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Georgia, Nebraska, Ohio, and Oklahoma will attend events at the border.
