Give education its share but no more says Gazette editorial
The Iowa General Assembly should be prudent with tax money and resist full funding of the Iowa State Education Association request for about 120 million more for education next year. Education deserves its share, but not at the expense of other essential programs or capital needs. The state has a balanced budget yet faces unmet needs and a deteriorating Statehouse. Once Iowa is fixed up, spending priorities can be reordered.
