Grassley says he’s basing his optimism on the fact that the alternative, as he put it, “isn’t good”.
KUOO news also asked Grassley about the status of getting a new farm bill passed. He says in a worse case scenario, the existing farm bill could be extended a year…(click here for comment.)
Grassley also commented on some changes in philosophy the Republican party will likely be looking at based on the last election. We’ll have more on that in upcoming newscasts.
