Senate blocks Iowa from joining Midwest Education Compact
Opposition led by regents' universities blocked Senate approval of Iowa joining the Midwest Higher Education Compact. The plan would have allowed voluntary program sharing and tuition reciprocity among eight states. The vote was 29-20 to scrap the idea after a prior move to keep the measure eligible for reconsideration.

He argues for spending cuts over tax hikes while supporting a 1-cent sales tax to fund human services and a health care provider tax to boost $60 million in federal reimbursements. Legislators expect hearings next week as Democrats seek alternative revenue if votes falter.
