A momentous week at the Iowa Capitol
Manage episode 468918053 series 14918
We begin this week with the Republican-backed legislation that would remove gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It was without a doubt a momentous week at the Iowa Capitol, and it peaked on Thursday when the bill was debated on the floor of both chambers. I said this in the On Iowa Politics newsletter: the spectacle that day rivals any of the other biggest days I’ve covered in my 14 years on the statehouse beat.
This episode was hosted by the Gazette Des Moines Bureau Chief Erin Murphy. It features Gazette Deputy Bureau Chief Tom Barton, Lee Des Moines Bureau Chief Maya Marchel Hoff, Gazette Columnist Todd Dorman, Sarah Watson of the Quad City Times and Jared McNett of the Sioux City Journal.
This episode was produced by Gazette Digital Content Manager Becky Lutgen Gardner.
