Iowa auditor says new law will restrict his office's access to information

A new law in Iowa allows state agencies to deny the state auditor access to certain information, potentially hindering his ability to track taxpayer dollars.
State Auditor Rob Sand, the only Democrat in statewide office, views the law as a politically motivated attack on accountability and believes it will make his office less impactful.
Supporters of the law argue that it is intended to protect Iowans' privacy and that the risk to the auditor's work is low, but concerns have been raised about the potential for less independent oversight.
