Iowa state lawmakers wrapped up the 2014 legislative session late last week, but for some it was far from a happy ending.

We asked District 10 State Senator Jake Chapman of Adel how he felt Friday morning…

“My emotion is just really, disappointment.  We’re sent down there to govern, not campaign.  When you have something like this happening as your last bill of the session, it really puts a sour taste in my mouth and it should put a sour taste in all of Iowa’s mouth.  They had the opportunity for the last 50 days, they’ve talked about it every single morning on the Senate floor.  And yet they try bringing a bill up after everything is completed and the House adjourns?”

He’s talking of course about the Democrat controlled Senate authorizing subpoena power for lawmakers investigating the secret settlements controversy.

The Republican Senator says he’s upset about it and feels voters will be too.

Chapman, in his second year as a State Senator, says there was a lot of politics played with this year’s session.  He says a lot of negotiated deals were passed through at the last minute, many of which without his vote.
