(Atlantic, Iowa) – Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) held a Town Hall meeting this (Tuesday) morning (May 28th) at Iowa Western Community College, in Atlantic. After he answered questions and spoke about a variety of topics with those in attendance, Grassley took some time to speak with reporters. He was asked what are people asking about lately, during the meetings?

The economy and workforce are also topics of concern to his constituents. Senator Grassley spoke in particular about an immigration parole reform bill.

He said the Democrats don’t want an immigration bill to be discussed on the floor of the Senate unless it’s their bill. Grassley said his message is that there’s enough work to be done in the Senate, but there’s not enough time allotted by leaders of the congressional delegation.
