JENEARY – LEGISLATURE
The end of the Iowa legislature this year came abruptly, as it always does, but it did not have the same feel as last year. That’s the assessment of State Representative Tom Jeneary of Le Mars.
Rep. Jeneary described what he thought was unusual about the session this year.
Rep. Jeneary said he had two priority issues this year. One was removing the imposition of eminent domain for carbon capture pipelines. The other was property tax reform, especially in light of the latest property value assessments. Jeneary was disappointed that lawmakers did not do anything on eminent domain. As for property taxes, there was a measure that passed, but it will need adjustment next year.
