Sneak behind the locked Gazette door for their look at the legislative session. A brief quote:
"It’s all election-year spin, according to former legislators who spoke on the condition they not be identified. Instead, the entire session will be about politics and the November election.
Republicans will put up a handful of ‘‘campaign pieces,’’ such as the death penalty and limits on abortion — wedge issues they can use in campaigns — pass a budget and get out of Des Moines as early as they can, they predicted.
Democrats will push their campaign issues, ‘‘but their mistake is that they try to set up 350 issues instead of four or five,’’ one former lawmaker continued. That’s because Democrats are ‘‘discombobulated,’’ and lack a driving force other than to win the majority in both the House and Senate. "
