Midwest Week: The Reynolds Administration Begins

State of Iowa

As the state's new fiscal year begins, Iowa's new governor faces some serious problems, including the budget.

On Midwest Week, Herb Trix's guest is Erin Murphy, bureau chief in Des Moines for Lee Enterprises, and his work appears here in the Quad City Times.

You can also hear Midwest Week on WVIK Fridays at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
