Republicans Disagree with Culver, Special Session Necessary
Today House Republicans voiced their disappointment with Gov. Culver for not calling for a special legislative session to deal with the disasters that struck Iowa this summer. The governor, who has been contemplating a special session since June, hinted that he will not be calling a special session.
According to the Associated Press, “Culver has virtually ruled out the possibility of calling the Legislature into special session to craft a flood relief package.” (Article Here)
“People across the state are speaking out, begging for a special session to put their cities back together, their businesses back on track and their lives moving forward again,” said Minority Whip Kraig Paulsen (R-Hiawatha). “These people are not asking for a handout, merely a hand up.”
