Iowa voting on constitution change amid school funding debate
A Tuesday vote asks Iowans to adopt amendments limiting spending and requiring a supermajority to raise taxes. Backers argue education funding won’t suffer, while opponents warn states with such majorities often lag national education spending. Recent Education Department data show five supermajority states grew faster per pupil than Iowa from 1993 to 1996.
