Iowa Lawmakers Focus on Recovery Package
DES MOINES - The coming week promises to be a big one for Iowa lawmakers. The focus will be on getting a recovery package to Governor Chet Culver by the end of January.
To do that, lawmakers need to approve a plan this week. The governor recommended a $43 million package. Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal says he hopes to move it quickly. Republicans say there could be differences about the amount spent on the effort but that they will support the package if they're convinced it will go toward disaster relief. More Good Stuff |
