When Republican politicians handed out $7,635 private school vouchers, one school responded by hiking tuition $6,260 and cutting private fundraising efforts.

RT this story & demand private schools be held accountable for the taxpayer dollars they receive.

In a press conference this wk, Gov. Reynolds attacked public schools that raised concerns regarding Repub book ban. She shared that schools were blowing her censorship “out of proportion” when they simply asked for guidance. #bookban

Packed house last night at the County Administration Building for a really great public hearing about ideas on how the County can spend its opioid settlement funds. Too bad I didn’t notice any media there for it.

Another hearing next week in DeWitt.

Dear Governor Reynolds--
We started back to school today. Kids come next week. This spring you said a couple things that bear repeating.
Let us drive, Governor. And be honest about thriving. We'll strive to do so despite the obstacles you've put in the way. Cuz we're called.

Ask rural legislators why they supported economic stimulus for urban areas. The IA DOE approved $142 million in taxpayer dollars to go towards K-12 private school tuition for the 23-24 school, and nearly $100 million of that will go to applicants in just 15 Iowa counties. #ripoff

Melanie James on who she and her husband spoke to before making her abortion decision: "We talked with our local doctor, we talked with our family and our friends, and we talked with our pastor but not once did it occur to me to talk to my legislator."

Before debate even starts, @IAHouseGOP just limited debate to 10 pm. They'll never stop playing politics with our reproductive freedom. #PeopleOverPolitics

It comes down to this:
It is nobody’s business, not mine, not yours and most certainly not the government’s. The Iowa motto states: Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain. I would assume that it was intended to include ALL Iowans. But does it? (4 of 4)

Unless you are lucky enough to have an amazing support system our state will be perpetuating an awful and cruel cycle of poverty and abuse.
Partners will not be given the choice to choose who should live if there are life threatening complications…

Women AND girls will be forced to have babies that for many reasons may be born under and into horrific circumstances. Birth those babies, but don’t expect to have the services needed or required to support that baby! (2 of 3)

Today the fate of women’s rights in Iowa hangs in the balance. Today women in the state of Iowa are most likely going to be stripped of the right to make health choices about their bodies. (1 of 3)

#DidYouKnow: A pollworker can order the arrest of anybody who is acting in such a manner that is disturbing the election, insults or abuses the pollworkers, or commits a breach of the peace.

Keep that in mind before you try to mess with our pollworkers! 🚓🚓🚓 #jocovotes
