Gov. Reynolds says Iowans don't need to know why she asked DHS director to resign [View all]

L'état, C'est Moi, Kimmy?

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds told KCRG-TV9 there is "no reason" to explain why she asked the head of Iowa's Department of Human Services to resign last month.

Jerry Foxhoven stepped down last month at the request of Reynolds. The Governor has said she is looking to overhaul the agency and is currently searching for a new leader for the department that oversees the state's privatized Medicaid system.

Reynolds told KCRG-TV9 the same thing she has said publicly, that there were several factors that led her to ask Foxhoven to resign but she refuses to give specifics.

"I'm just not going to get into that," Reynolds told KCRG-TV9. "I just don't think that's healthy and there is just no reason to do that."
