Iowa lawmakers push ahead on taxes as funnel deadline ends
Iowa Republicans hold agenda setting majorities in the House and Senate as efforts to advance tax and budget policy continue despite missing the funnel deadline. Democrats charge Republicans have not lowered costs or expanded affordable housing and childcare, while debates intensify over pesticide liability and eminent domain changes, DEI funding limits, and pipeline protections. Senate and House Republicans outline language shifts to protect landowners and curb DEI programs, with opponents warning of reduced access to justice and suppressing minority voices.
