Editorial Fellow David Chung argues that inertia makes government reforms hard and that the Department of Education should be abolished. He cites history of cabinet reshuffling, constitutional limits on federal role, and argues funding is a leverage tool that erodes local control, urging a return of education policy to states and communities.

Guest column by John Hendrickson and Meg Tuszynski argues property tax relief rather than incentives fuels long term growth. It cites Iowa’s rising property taxes, potential reform fears, Cedar Rapids data center project, West Des Moines subsidies, and calls for lower taxes and spending to spur entrepreneurship and migration. The authors are with Iowans for Tax Relief and SMU's Bridwell Institute.
