Iowa Down Ballot with Guest Host Zachary Oren Smith 3/22/25

Iowa Starting Line's Zachary Oren Smith fills in for a spring breaking Dave Price one more time. Guests this week are Laura Belin of Bleeding Heartland and Kathie Obradovich of Iowa Capital Dispatch.

The gang started with some helpful tips on decompressing after a long week, then right in to the past week at the Iowa Statehouse. Topics include; Bipartisan support for the governor’s cell phone ban in schools, possible moratorium on economic development to the state’s largest counties, changing the definition of school bullying, floor manager of the DEI bill in the Iowa House, Rep. Henry Stone, R-Forest City, did not yield to questions from House Democrats, and the latest on the pipeline and eminent domain and we let Laura really geek out about it. Kathie also teases a possible amendment of the year pick (we really need to figure out what’s going on with Bigfoot.) Jam packed show!!
