(Des Moines, IA) State lawmakers return to the Iowa Capitol today (Tuesday) for a rare special session. The session was called for a vote to accept or reject new political boundaries drawn up following the 2020 Census. House Speaker Pat Grassley has given no indication of how Republicans might vote. Grassley does say he wants to keep the special session to this issue only. The boundaries are based on data released by the U-S Census Bureau in February. Governor Kim Reynolds scheduled the special session through a proclamation last month.
