The Carroll Chamber of Commerce and Carroll County Growth Partnership (CCGP) will host its final scheduled legislative forum this weekend in Glidden. The program begins at 10 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday) morning at the Kruger Shelter House. The approximately hour-long program will feature only one guest, District 6 Sen. Jason Schultz (R-Schleswig), as District 11 Rep. Craig Williams (R-Manning) is unavailable to attend. The program will open with a brief introductory statement, followed by questions prepared by the Chamber/CCGP Legislative Committee. Any remaining time will be set aside for questions from constituents. The 100th day of the 2026 Iowa Legislative Session was April 21, and legislators’ per diem expenses ended as of that date. It is not uncommon for lawmakers to extend the session, but it is unlikely they will adjourn before finalizing the state’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget and reaching an agreement on property tax reform. While Saturday’s forum is the final scheduled one of the session, the Chamber may attempt to schedule a fifth summary forum, as it has done in past years, if the legislators’ schedules allow.
