“Governor Branstad’s surprising vetoes of one-time funding for K-12 schools, community colleges and state universities continues to make no sense to a majority of Iowans,” Gronstal said. “The Governor’s vetoes are especially egregious in light of the fact that the Legislature worked in a bipartisan fashion to avoid using one-time money to fund ongoing needs and the Legislature’s overall spending level was actually below the Governor’s.”
“In the end, it is schoolchildren, college students and Iowans needing mental health treatment who will suffer because of the Governor’s actions. I believe there will be bipartisan support for overriding the worst of Governor Branstad’s vetoes,” Gronstal said
Legislators may call a special session if two-thirds of the Senators and two-thirds of the Representatives agree in writing to participate in a special session.
I heard on the news that this was not going to happen. Except for some whiney ex-teachers there is no interest in this at all. All they had to do was do it the right way and there would not have been a problem. Maybe the schools will have to dump some dead wood starting with our superintendent and get rid of some more un-needed managers. If they did there would be more for the teachers and the kids.
