I am writing in response to the article in the Iowa Standard where it mentions that Speaker Pat Grassley “expects only redistricting to be done during the special session”. Together with many Iowans, I am left with questions and grave concerns.
Blanket policies and cookie-cutter health mandates are sweeping the state without concern for our individual bodily autonomy or beliefs. As a member of leadership and Speaker of the house, Pat Grassley, has turned a blind eye to the needs of the people he was elected to represent. As thousands of Iowans are concerned about retaining their jobs (many of whom have made a significant investment of both time and money to achieve) we are left to ask, why is this not important enough to be added to a special session?

Asking Grassley to stand up is inhuman...
Yeah, I trust him about as much as I trust his grandpa. I bet that Pat Grassley is being groomed to take over grandpa’s senate seat whenever Gramps finally croaks or is forced to retire. I guess it really doesn’t matter who Iowa’s senator are. They are all fully owned by the corn/ethanol lobby.
Not so much anymore.
For one thing, ethanol is dying (or was). More expensive than fracking. Still good for feed production, which it remains a money making business.
“They are all fully owned by the corn/ethanol lobby.”
I remember Bob Dole running in Iowa in 1996. He had to walk back an ethanol statement. He did it sarcastically as I recall. He had a quick wit. He was a bit more honest and funny than most of the establishment. At least he supported Trump.
Grassley taking a stand.
Right after he climbs Everest.
His nickname now is “Pelosi Pat.”
