State Senator Jason Schultz denies plan will pay for a bunch of rich kids to go to private schools. But the bill has NO INCOME LIMITS after 2nd year. No matter how wealthy an Iowa family is, the state will hand them free money every year for private school for each kid.
@tlfritch@LauraRBelin As did I, also no response... It's almost as if Carrie Koelker doesn't have any regard for her constituents. Rep. Lundgren at least had the decency to respond before casting her vote.
State Senator Carrie Koelker joins the chorus of Republicans who promise the voucher plan won't hurt Iowa's public schools. These statements will not age well.
Jochum called out hedge fund owners who spent a good money on a PAC to get voucher legislation across the finish line in Iowa including a commercial featuring the governor.
"Well, tonight, the billionaire-hedge fund manager and Betsy DeVos are doing the happy dance."
There's an interesting proposed change in HSB 31, the rules that govern the Iowa House. Rule 32 says any bills that go through the Education Reform Committee are exempt from Appropriations and Ways and Means, where their financial impact would be assessed. https://t.co/JHstqFx3Q5

“We never stop moving forward. We never stop making progress...What it takes is the courage to stand up and say let’s get some work done and let’s get Iowa back on it’s feet.”
That is what I closed with at the Jackson County Farm Bureau Farm Forum & plan to do moving forward!
