Session may stretch two more weeks as issues mix with a salary scandal at a state job training agency.

Edna Bids Farewell to Iowa Lawmakers at Capitol
Edna the crafted figure has left the Iowa Capitol after a month greeting lawmakers and staff. Created to fund Alzheimer's causes, she joined Rep. Tom Schueller and Melodie, posed for photos, then heads to Fort Dodge state prison for replication by inmates. Future Ednas will join the Artful Dodger project with artists decorating them.
