Thanks Ed. The fact that our Governor and her Republican majority won't allow public school families to use these funds for tutoring—despite evidence that tutoring works—reveals this isn't about educational quality or "school choice." It's about funneling taxpayer money to private institutions while starving the public schools that serve the vast majority of Iowans.
I await legislators and candidates announcements to commit to amending this program--especially for those who read your column.
Thank you for the thoughtful analysis of conditions in Iowa under the Kim rental administration. Here’s hoping for a turnaround in the very near future.
Let's not forget that Reynolds signed legislation making the Iowa the first state to remove anti-discrimination protections for gender identity from its civil rights code.
Ed, another job well done. Iowa will continue its downhill slide, just like the rest of the USA. As long as MONEY will buy your politicians the outlook is very bleak. The MAJOR problem we face today is ONLY WEALTHY FOLKS CAN AFFORD TO RUN FOR OFFICE--and when they take office will only work for WEALTHY FOLKS who helped them get elected. GREED AND POWER WILL BE THE DOWNFALL OF IOWA AND SOON THE GOOD OLD USA--HAPPY 250th to the USA.

Well done and comprehensive.

The last Governor who had ideas about how to grow Iowa was Tom Vilsack. The Republicans have taken it straight downhill
I regret having to repeat myself. Iowa should be renamed North Mississippi.
