Iowa lawmakers approve a complex budget compromise on a nearly 1 billion dollar package including a 51 million Medicaid privatization and oversight, 43 million one time surplus use, and a 992.2 million education budget. The plan keeps abortion decisions with the governor, funds family planning, and includes a standstill for K-12 and anti-bullying provisions as the 2015 session nears its end.
