So much funnel week news
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with Iowa political reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump's tariffs. The rest of the show focused on news from the legislature, including details on the House and Senate Republican agreement on K-12 school funding. They discussed a group of bills designed to limit the next governor's power and following the legislature's first "funnel" deadline, they covered some notable bills that are still alive (as well as a few that didn't advance) related to education, libraries, vaccines, health care, immigration, crime and courts, agriculture, the environment, energy policy, local government powers, and automated license plate readers.
