Protesters picket Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix's home in Shell Rock
SHELL ROCK, Ia. Union and Democratic activists picketed the home of Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix on Saturday to protest what they called his anti-family and anti-worker agenda.
About 100 protesters carrying signs and banging drums marched on the snow-packed sidewalk and street in front of Dix's family home for nearly an hour.
Local law enforcement agencies barricaded the street. A few neighbors watched from a nearby deck as protesters gave speeches and chanted "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Bill Dix has got to go."
