The IA Legislature chose to spend only 79% of the resources that were available this year, setting aside the rest for future surpluses and tax cuts.

Iowa will lose nearly $2 billion in revenue annually beginning in FY 2026, forcing more reliance on temporary, one-time surpluses to fund ongoing budget priorities.

Who stands to benefit from the AEA bill passed during this years session?

It isn't educators or students or parents.

As far as I can tell, the only winners are private school interests who donated to Kim Reynolds' campaign.

This is a picture of people who were so afraid of Nebraska voters that they passed a bill that was far more unconstitutional and cut their program by 90%.............

Limit guns? Of course not. Legislators evidently think more guns make you safer. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

I took Econ in high school, took enough in college to get certified, & it still took having to teach it to make it make sense. Not because I had poor teachers or they did the wrong things, it's because understanding (not just knowing or memorizing) requires context & purpose.

Imagine if that money instead went to public schools and feeding kids and/or other things such as cancer research and improving nursing home conditions…

America First Randy Richardson Jared Rahe Gov. Kim Reynolds During school shootings ,the presence of armed staff is correlated with an almost 3x higher death toll. I'd rather teachers not be armed, which is correlated with fewer deaths in the event of a school shooting. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

This business lobbyist also helps select Iowa Supreme Court justices/Iowa Court of Appeals judges as a governor-appointed member of the State Judicial Nominating Commission, and helps select Polk County judges as a governor's appointee to the 5C district nominating commission.

Research shows the average voucher pop-up lasts less than 4 years—half as long as pre-existing voucher schools that close too.

“Rural schools will open!” where public consolidation/closure has been rampant is another false promise from the voucher lobby.

You are correct. But the taxpayers of the United States pay about **$2** for that insurance for every $1 the farmer pays.

Scarcely a day goes by that I do not hear of a nightmare situation in even 'the best' of Senior Care facilities. Shame on Governor Reynolds and the Republican legislators for ignoring this significant problem while approving solutions looking for a problem throughout this session
