Good summary of legislative session at blogforiowa.com

https://blogforiowa.com/2018/05/07/senate-democrats-release-2018-end-of-session-report/

the report is divided into 4 parts:

- what the Republicans passed

- bipartisan bills

This one could be good ammunition for letters to the editor or door-knocking this summer and fall

He said this session was exhausting. In addition to their normal bullshit, they (the repubs) kept trying to ram things through in the middle of the night. He was wiped out.
