Kapucian Korner: A time to say a personal thank-you
I don’t often like to talk about myself. I prefer to focus on the things we are doing for Iowa in our work at the Capitol. However, on Wednesday, I was honored to receive the annual Herbert Hoover Uncommon Public Service Award.
The award is given each year by the Hoover Presidential Foundation to a member of the Senate and a member of the House who have dedicated their time to public service and humanitarian projects.

In the Statehouse: House, Senate finding agreement
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Happy Spring to you all! Another eventful week at the Capitol and we are making progress! In fact, it appears we may adjourn for the year on time or very close to it. Finishing on time means we are getting paid up to that point. In my twelve years that's only happened once and the longest we worked beyond was over 60 days, so it will be a welcome change.
