Iowa Legislature Falls Short on Completing Appropriations
Iowa lawmakers did not finish work on nine appropriations bills by last night and three remain on the calendar totaling about 670 million dollars. Education funding lacks a nine member UI Hospitals and Clinics board. Senate had removed that provision. Two bills are in conference, with House poised to accept Senate changes, potentially finishing before session end.
