Iowa lawmakers weigh recess or special session over bargaining deadlock
Legislative leaders face a choice to recess the General Assembly or reconvene in a special session. A stalemate on collective bargaining with blue collar workers could push May 23 as the reach date for an agreement with the state. Arbitrator John Forsyth of Wayne State University is chosen. If in session, legislators receive 40 a day plus expenses. if recess, only expenses. Governor would have limited May deadline if recessed. A recent constitutional amendment allows lawmakers to call themselves into a special session. The Drake Relays feature Judge Mark McCormick finishing 15th in the masters marathon.
