Today marks the first day of the 2016 Iowa Legislative Session.

Heading into the session, Representative Guy Vander Linden says no hard budget targets have been set yet by either chamber or political party. Vander Linden claims the Democrats played politics with last year’s school funding number, and hopes to avoid a similar debate this year.

Governor Terry Branstad will outline his budget and legislative priorities for the session during the Condition of the State Address on Tuesday at 10 a.m. We have more with Representative Vander Linden on Let’s Talk Pella.
