Something that affects everyone 100 or 95, to be exact, 95 years after his death. There are still tons of documentaries, books about him. He was endlessly fascinating and dynamic. Hes a guy who overcomes the tragic death of his wife. And thats a story that sometimes i think is hard. Cornelius and his wife cornelius and his wife margaret they had five sons. Around the same time in 1853, two of their sons were getting married, their son robert and their son theodore. So what better wedding present to get your son but a house each. 26 east 20th, which you have to imagine was opposite this wall over here, was robert roosevelts house. 28 east 20th was theodores. Our president was the second child born here. He had an older sister, he was around october 27, 1858 and lived here for the first 14 years of his life.

[applause] thank you, john claybrook. If youre lo
Transition to march 1st, saying the state wasnt ready. The bill to stop the switch altogether shouldnt have trouble passing the iowa senate where democrats have control. But it could face trouble in the republican controlled house. Speaker Linda Upmeyer said she likely wont let the bill on the house floor, because governor branstad will veto. Senator liz mathis says she hopes upmeyer will reconsider if republicans have a good show of support today and in the house. Hopefully shell see that there maybe a lot of republicans and democrats who will support this bill when it gets over there and it wont be dead on arrival. Senator david johnson, a wellknown senate republican, is supporting the bill. Governor branstad is pushing privatization to help cut costs for medicaid.
