Statement On Collective Bargaining Discussion

Statement from Courtney Greene, press secretary to the Governor:

"Governor Culver appreciates that the senate leadership on both sides has reached a working agreement that allows for open debate and discussion.  As he said in his Condition of the State address, he believes lawmakers should not be afraid to debate these important issues in a respectful and civil manner.

"As for the bill itself, he will continue to listen to the debate, and as with all pieces of legislation, he will carefully review and consider it if and when received, and make a decision at that time."
