WATCH: Rants, Mascher react to Condition of the State address
House Minority Leader Christopher Rants said he was "extremely disappointed" that Gov. Chet Culver pushed "the most divisive issue this General Assembly has faced in a long time, and that's the gutting of Iowa's right-to-work law."
He also said the speech sent the message that "tax increases are on the horizon."
Rep. Mary Mascher, D-Iowa City, said she was interested in Culver's rhetoric on cooperation and bipartisan unity.
"We as Democrats, if anything, do that better than anybody in terms of reaching across the aisle and working in a bipartisan fashion," she said.
She also called the proposed bottle deposit increase "an uphill battle" but "do-able."
