One western Iowa lawmaker has responded to a year-old challenge thrown down by the former Speaker of the Iowa House — and present Speaker Brent Siegrist. Representative Brad Hanson of Carter Lake went to a steakhouse on Wednesday night to step up to the plate, so to speak. Hanson ate a 56 ounce steak, something he’d bragged last year that he could easily accomplish.Representative Steve Sukup — the Speaker Pro Tempore — was a witness to Hanson’s achievement. Sukup says Hanson did knife off some of the fat on the steak.
