Legislature Likely To Miss School Funding Deadline
Iowa lawmakers face a likely miss of the 2013 14 school year funding deadline. The Senate backed a 4 percent rise in state aid and categorical funding for 2014, while House Republicans prefer revamping the forward funding law and oppose the Senate plan. The bill would boost per pupil aid by about 240 dollars and raise total state spending, with critics calling the move political theater. Names include Rob Hogg and Mark Chelgren. Departments include the Iowa Senate and House Republicans. Locations include Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Date context centers on July 1 2013 fiscal year start and the 2014 budget year.
