Funnel week surprises, bills still moving, a ProPublica exclusive on Joni Ernst
from KHOI's Capitol Week · host Laura Belin, Spencer Dirks
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks cover an exceptionally busy week in the Iowa legislature ahead of the first "funnel" deadline. They discussed new bills that popped up last week (not all of them advanced), and notable bills that are "alive" and "dead" in the areas of K-12 education, higher education, public libraries, energy policy, state government, health care, crime and courts, and elections. Other topics covered: a new job for former State Senator Brad Zaun, remembering Iowa Senate giant Jack Kibbie, a South Dakota law that spells trouble for Summit Carbon Solutions' CO2 pipeline n Iowa, and ProPublica's exclusive (and explosive) reporting about U.S. Senator Joni Ernst.
