The Marion County Republicans will host a legislative forum this Friday in Pella.

State Senator Ken Rozenboom and Representative Guy Vander Linden will be at Happy Joe’s beginning at 9 a.m. to discuss the latest in the Iowa Senate and House. Rozenboom says now that the 2016-17 fiscal year shortfall has been addressed, there are a wide range of legislative priorities Republicans will bring to the forefront with majorities in both chambers.

Debate started this week on K-12 education funding, and the Iowa House proposed a 1.1% increase in state supplemental aid.
