Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a Republican from Marion, is introducing a bill she calls the Red Tape Transparency Act.
She says her bill will keep unelected Washington bureaucrats from creating costly regulations and subverting the will of the people.
Hinson says President Biden’s 400 billion dollar plan to cancel student loan debt is a key example of what this bill would prevent.
Crops are starting to show signs of stress brought on by the drought. Iowa Sate University Extension field agronomist, Angie Rieck Hinz sees it in the corn in her north-central Iowa area.
The bean crop is also impacted.
Hinz says some areas in her region are short four to five inches of soil moisture needed to produce a healthy crop.
Hinz says they need some rain soon to keep the crop conditions from getting worse.

A crash in Harrison County involving three motorcycles and a semi resulted in the deaths of three people from western Iowa, and injuries to three more. The Iowa State Patrol reports the crash happened on Iowa Highway 127 and Loess Hills Trail, between Mondamin and Magnolia, at around 4:23-p.m. It caused resulted in the road being closed until late Sunday night.
The Patrol says a 1990 Kenworth truck driven by 73-year-old Ronald Keith Meeker, of Woodbine, was traveling west on Iowa Hwy 127, when the vehicle failed to negotiate a curve, and stop at a stop sign. The truck rolled onto its side into the southbound lane and struck a 2014 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 53-year old Steven Theodore Starkey, of Council Bluffs.
When the motorcycle entered the southbound ditch, Starkey and his passenger, 53-year-old Julie Starkey, of Council Bluffs, were ejected. The operator of a 2016 Harley, 52-year-old Joseph Anthony Baker, of Yutan, NE, dumped his cycle onto its side. He jumped from the bike prior to being hit by the truck. A 2004 Yamaha motorcycle operated by 38-year-old Adam Opal, of McClelland, evaded contact with the semi, but Adam and his passenger, 38-year-old Samantha Opal, of McClelland, were thrown from the cycle.
Adam and Samantha Opal were transported by helicopter to the UNMC in Omaha. Ronald Meeker, along with Steven and Julie Starkey, died at the scene and were transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office by Missouri Valley Rescue. Joseph Baker was transported by Mo. Valley Rescue to CHI/Missouri Valley Hospital by Mondamin Rescue.
