ADJOURNMENT DELAY: A GOP stalemate over tax policy has the potential to drag out the 2021 session.
Gov. Kim Reynolds pitched a compromise package Wednesday she hoped would break a stalemate, but House Speaker Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford, said thereâs no agreement yet.
Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny, says his members want to resolve the tax-policy impasse before they move ahead with the fiscal 2022 state budget.
âI donât see us getting done obviously this week. I donât think weâll be done next week, so I think weâre looking at several weeks minimum regardless,â said Whitver.
