Again, thank you for your exhaustive summary of an exhaustive list of legislative actions. It makes me wish we could go back to years ago when the Iowa legislature met only every other year: 50% less time for damaging legislation!

Thanks for the update. I've often wondered about Iowa’s GOP effort to reduce the number of state employees, including publIc school teachers.the Would the AEA re-do give $ directly to schools, with a GOP hope the schools will hire from the "private sector"? It may be the same people, but off the direct public payroll. Public employees organize, fund raise, lobby, campaign, and vote against the GOP. I know Bransted used to brag about reducing the number of public employees. How much is that affecting this legislative session?
