	Iowa governor weighs fight on gay appointee - The Boston Globe
		CHICAGO -- Governor Tom Vilsack of Iowa is exploring whether he can skirt a Senate panel's vote and install an openly gay lawyer to the state education board despite a narrow rejection of the appointment following a divisive two-day debate in the state capital.
		The governor said after the vote that "we are going to consider what our options are." A Vilsack spokesman, Matt Paul, said Friday that going ahead and putting Wilson on the nine-member board is one option being studied.
