From WCFcourier.com:
Republican forces were issuing warnings Friday for Iowans opposed to proposed Democratic changes to Iowa’s labor laws or income tax system not to let their guard down as the Legislature nears adjournment.
“As the final days of the 2009 legislative session are unfolding, secret meetings with arm twisting and horse trading are being led by House Democrat leaders,” Ed Failor Jr., president of Iowans for Tax Relief warned his members in an e-mail alert.
Meanwhile, House GOP Leader Kraig Paulsen of Hiawatha issued a separate “action alert” e-mail warning that majority Democrats in the Legislature may try to “make one last go” at passing labor-backed proposals that he contended would hurt Iowa’s taxpayers and economy.
“One issue that seems to be gaining steam is instituting changes to Iowa’s collective bargaining law,” he said in his e-mail alert.
