— Proposals from a group Culver convened last April to study the racial disparities in the prison system will go before the Iowa Legislature in January

—His office is working with the Iowa Department of Education to identify why black children are suspended at a higher rate than whites.

—Culver signed an executive order last month creating the Youth Race And Detention Task Force that will make recommendations to ensure that young minorities are “fairly and justly” treated by the system and to develop policies to combat recidivism

#1 – “proposals will go to legislature

#2 – He's working on a study (how many in the last 30 years have been done on this?)

#3 – He's putting together a task force to study it.

What are his legislative proposals from #1?

The amount of leadership coming out of Culver is astounding. So far, his only leadership is to convene some committees to authorize a study for others to review in order to make some recommendations that could get discussed by another committee who will make some recommendations to someone else who will further convene a committe to form some legislation.
