A week of compromise closes this legislative session. After nearly a week of political posturing, both political parties decided it was in the best interest of Iowa and Iowans to find that middle ground compromise that no one is satisfied with, but both sides are willing to accept. It is reported that this has been the third longest session in the history of the Iowa Legislature. This extended session cost very little because legislators did not receive pay or expense money, nor are clerks employed, after the end of April.
