Legislature stalls as budget impasse drags on in Iowa
Des Moines lawmakers struggle for a consensus with two weeks left before adjournment. House Republicans push a 1.25 percent K-12 aid increase for 2016 while Governor Branstad backs the same level. Democrats align with the governor on a $7.34 billion base funding target and a 2.625 percent rise, seeking compromise. Senate and House leaders blame stalemate on opposing paths, with calls for common ground and possible split funding to break the gridlock.
