Kim still has her legislature "in session" to approve her financial aid bill to private schools. The legislature only has ONE constitutionally mandated job and that is to approve a state budget.......but so far, Iowa doesn't have A BUDGET! Now, the GOP has huge, untouchable majorities in both the House and Senate but they can't agree on a budget? Why??
The "budget" crisis is really all about Ms. Reynolds desire to violate the spirit of Iowa's and the nation's Constitutions and use state collected tax monies to finance private and parochial schools. The idea is widely opposed......Opposed to the point that even her GOP majority legislature refuses to pass the bill. YET......she has them in session....at NO pay and is patiently ready to "wait them out" for her bill to be passed.
Imagine if Chet Culver would have tried a stunt like this.....can you imagine the outrage from Iowa Republicans? But with Kim......crickets.....My governor has redefined "stubborn"......amazing.
