Schrader of Marion offered the following remarks:
Welcome back old friends and new colleagues. During the opening
ceremony of a new session I always find myself thinking of the
great privilege that our constituents have given us by allowing
us to serve them here in this place. Ten years ago Speaker
Corbett and I spent much of opening day, like most new members,
trying to figure out which desk to choose. Incredibly, only
eleven of the veterans who saw us sworn in then are serving here
today. The ceremony and this place stay the same while the
people and the ideas constantly change. Good luck to each of the
twenty-one new members and thank you in advance for the new
ideas you have brought with you.
This session holds great promise for all the people of Iowa.

are all possible and likely thanks to good decisions made by
previous legislatures and thanks to a solid and growing Iowa
economy. Democrats are ready to build on and add to Iowa's great
success story.
Tax cuts will continue to be a top priority for Democrats, as
they were in 1995 and 1996 when we fought for and won property
tax cuts for Iowans. Today middle
