The Iowa Standard

Eye on Iowa, episode 3

This is an informational episode with four interviews that you won’t want to miss! Our first guest is Rep. John Wills, who cosponsored a bill that would establish daylight savings time as the year-round time here in Iowa.

Chris Ingstad, president of Iowans For Tax Relief also joined us to discuss his group’s legislative goals for 2019 and the attempt to repeal the Inheritance Tax here in Iowa.

Norman Woods of South Dakota’s Family Heritage Alliance discusses a bill in our neighboring state that would require students participate on high school sports teams based on the biological gender listed on their birth certificate.

Finally, Pastor Ken Peters from Washington state joins us to talk about The Church At Planned Parenthood!

Eye on Iowa, episode 2

A few guests join us for episode 2! We’ll start out discussing SSB 1017’s passage out of committee. That bill allows people with permits to continue carrying their weapon while dropping someone or something off at school — as long as they remain in parking areas.

Roger Gannam from Liberty Counsel discusses efforts to ban conversion therapy.

Sue Thayer talks about attending the March for Life earlier this month, the Iowa judge’s ruling on the Heartbeat bill and the pro-life topic in general!
