Spirit Lake, IA (KICD) — State Representative John Wills of Spirit Lake will call for a Convention of States in the next legislative session. The Republican says Congress and the President both wield too much power.

Wills – who also serves at Speaker Pro Tem – says the recent ouster of Kevin McCarthey, and failure to balance the budget are examples of a broken federal government.

Wills expects an uphill battle to get the rest of the legislature to go along with his idea.
