Reynolds won't say if she was invited to join 7-state 'reopening' pact
However the DMR reports: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2020/04/16/kim-reynolds-on-7-state-coronavirus-pact/5148918002/
When asked if she was invited, Reynolds' spokesman Pat Garrett responded that she "will continue to participate in conversations with nearby governors as we prepare to open the state back up in the coming weeks."
Garrett didn't respond when asked again if Reynolds was asked to join with the other governors.
When asked about the absence of Iowa in the group, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he wished more states had joined.
"Iowa chose not to be part of this," Pritzker said. "I know they don't have a stay-at-home rule yet in place. They've made a lot of different decisions than we have."
Reynolds has argued that the steps she has taken were as effective as other states, like Illinois, that have stay-at-home orders.

She is a Republican ideologue - period. Again today she mentioned working with Nebraska (I think SD also). My opinion she don't give a flying fuck about eastern Iowa.

I was on a tangent there and misinterpreted that.
No, I see what you mean. The word "reopen" has become a trigger for me lately.
