In Des Moines the senate blocked house amendments to the public employees pension bill as both chambers faced adjournment. The call of the senate halted voting until a two thirds majority was met, with Sen. Den Kirk absent and the session stretched past the 100 day mark. The stalemate centers on state aid to schools, education board funding, and the optional versus mandatory pension plan for public employees. A conference panel was named to seek compromises on the disputed appropriations and policy provisions.
