A public hearing is underway in the Iowa House of Representatives, giving Iowans a chance to air their views — in three-minute segments — about the massive bill the House will debate tomorrow. It’s a roughly 600-page bill that outlines state spending for the next two years and contains a property tax relief plan. Jeff Boeyink, Governor Terry Branstad’s chief of staff, entered the House at about 4:35 p.m. and sat down between House Speaker Kraig Paulsen and Representative Jeff Kaufmann (R-Wilton). The three occasionally talk among themselves, but the trio is also listening to the testimony.
