In the Statehouse: Fuel tax increase vote facing Iowa Legislature
After being gone for two weeks and in the first week there was a snowstorm, I was dreading getting home at 9 p.m. and having to clear out the drive to get my car in. You can imagine how surprised I was to see my neighbor, Don Miller, had plowed me out, cleaned my sidewalks off and cleared a way to the back door on the deck. Now that was a great Valentine! Thank you, Don! It's amazing to have good neighbors.

In the Statehouse: Legislators discussing money in many ways
The weatherman was right this time. We are buried in the heavy, perfect snowman making snow here in Des Moines. It is beautiful and a back breaker! Aren’t you thankful for our Snow Warriors who clear it all up for us?
What’s happening in the statehouse? Some of us are looking to get money back into your wallet and some of us are wanting to take some more out.
