Excerpt:

A bill was introduced in the Iowa House of Representatives that would create a Baby Boom Generation Commission. The Baby Boom Generation Commission would look at ways to keep Iowa’s baby boomers in the state after they retire.

The bill establishes the commission within the department ofeconomic development in order to advise and assist in retainingand attracting baby boomers in and to both rural and urbanareas of the state.

The commission seems to be the same idea as the Generation Iowa Commission that was created last year and released their recommendations last week on how to keep and attract young people to the state.

I know there are more things that can be done to keep baby boomers in the state, such as lowering property taxes and more affordable health care, but a start would be keeping baby boomer’s children in the state. A lot of baby boomers move out of the state to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
