Monday, March 21

Today's Lunch 'n Learn was with Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds.  A high point of the meeting was when she said she was going to finish college at Simpson, and I told her that I have heard the Lt. Governor speak at graduations at Iowa State and would she be interested in graduating and speaking at the same time...

Beginning at 4:45, the House debated and passed HF 467, SF 402, SF 475, HF 557, SF 325, SF 483, HF 609, HF 390, SF 321, HF 548, and HF 614.  They finished by 6:00.

The second funnel is April 1.  From what I understand, to be eligible for debate, all bills must be filed with the Chief Clerk's office, so once again, committees are hard at work.  This makes for more long days.  Also, before each stretch of debate, both parties go into caucus, so no one is on the floor.
