2009 Legislative Issue
The underside of the dome of the Iowa State Capitol Building is a magnificent sight that has a wonderful history. The dome is 275 feet above ground level and is 80 feet wide in diameter. It is primarily made of 23-karat gold, which carries a total weight of 100 troy ounces. In the center is the logo of the Grand Army of the Republic, a symbolic image of the American Civil War. It is underneath all this splendor where Iowa's elected officials come together every year as a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
