This week on The Exchange, we sit in on a legislative forum as Siouxland lawmakers discuss issues of gender and civil rights, rehauling the state's Area Education Agencies and eminent domain, to name a few. The forum was held by the League of Women Voters of Sioux City.
The guests are District 7 Republican State Sen. Kevin Alons of Salix, District 1 Democratic Representative J.D. Scholten of-Sioux City, District 2 Republican Representative Bob Henderson of Sioux City, District 2 Republican Representative Ken Carlson of Onawa, and District 14 Republican Representative Jacob Bossman of Sioux City.
We also talk wiith Cynthia Farmer of the Center for Rural Affairs about a bill introduced in the Iowa Senate that would provide resources to small grocery store owners trying to survive amidst workforce and economic challenges and competition from big box retailers.
