In this episode of the Iowa Manufacturing Podcast, host Leisa Fox talks with Alex Parker, Eide Bailly's Director of Tax Legislative Affairs, about what's really happening in Washington as the government shutdown stretches on. With years of experience as a journalist covering tax and policy at the Capitol, Alex explains how we got here, what's at stake, and which services could be disrupted if the gridlock continues.

He also explores Iowa's growing role as an energy cornucopia, breaking down the incentives and opportunities tied to the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3). His combination of insider knowledge and plainspoken insight makes complex legislative issues understandable and actionable for manufacturers across Iowa.
