Democratic leader: Missed opportunities characterize legislative session
Missed opportunities in education, public safety and health care reform
characterized the Iowa Legislature's mixed record this year, according to
the Senate's Democratic leader in the new edition of the "Iowa News &
Views"
cable television series, which appears the weeks of May 8 and 15. Mike
Gronstal of Council Bluffs discusses the recently ended session's successes
and failures with host Joe Bolkcom.
[EDITORS: See below for day, time and channel on your cable system.]
According to Gronstal, Republicans who control both the House and Senate
teamed with special interests to scuttle action on a number of key issues
facing the state. In instances where the Legislature did make progress,
Gronstal said, it was because Gov. Tom Vilsack brought Democrats and
Republicans together to work toward common goals.
