The scorecard for the 2019 Iowa legislature is nearly complete, as lawmakers head into the weekend intending to conclude this year’s work.

House Republican Leader Chris Hagenow of Clive says after 16 weeks of work, the legislature has taken steps to improve broadband access, expand housing in rural areas and use future sales tax revenue for direct property tax relief.

House Democratic Leader Todd Prichard of Charles City says Republicans failed to address ongoing problems in the state’s privatized Medicaid program for both patients and health care providers.
