Senate confirms en bloc appointees including Paige Berg; Tina Eich confirmed individually
Summary
The Senate approved an amended en bloc confirmation calendar (adding Paige Berg to the Early Childhood Iowa State Board) by roll-call and later confirmed Tina Eich as Racing and Gaming Commission administrator; nominees received the required majorities.
Senator Clemensch called up the en bloc confirmation calendar and added Paige Berg to the Early Childhood Iowa State Board. Senator Winkler briefly noted he had initially asked that Paige Berg be withheld only in order to draw attention to the need for additional appointments to that board; he said Paige was elected co-vice president at the board's last meeting and is a good appointment.
The secretary read recorded votes; the en bloc nominees were confirmed with 47 ayes, 0 nays. Later, Senator Dawson introduced Tina Eich for individual confirmation as Racing and Gaming Commission administrator, reciting her education and two decades of legal practice; the Senate confirmed her by roll call (47 ayes, 0 nays). "She is a strong public servant," Dawson said in support during the floor remarks.
