River to River, hosted by Ben Kieffer

During what may be her last Condition of the State, Gov. Kim Reynolds said our government needs to be reminded that "money doesn't grow on trees" as she eyes limits to municipal revenue growth. House Minority Leader Rep. Brian Meyer countered after her speech that Iowa is in a "fiscal death spiral" due to previous tax cuts.

Guests:

  • Dave Peterson, Lucken Professor of Political Science, Iowa State University
