Tuesday, April 5

Today was a long day of debating appropriations bills. The process of creating, removing, and transferring funds is a long and tedious one - I can only imagine the political bloodbath going on in Washington D.C. right now.  Because Iowa's legislative chambers don't have the same majority party, it is super difficult to pass legislation.  As a result, there is no longer a chance of working later than April, there is more of a certainty about it.

Two appropriations bills went through the House today: SF 511 - Judicial branch appropriations, and HF 645 - education appropriations.
