Iowa lawmakers clash on paraeducator pay and budget path
Reynolds proposals and House Republicans differ over paraeducator funding with both sides proposing roughly 9.44 billion in spending. Grassley says a 14 million paraeducator line remains pivotal as Senate and House bargain on budget top lines and property tax relief. Senate and House study bills on tax shifts and Eminent Domain face slow progress, while energy, rural health care, and unemployment reform await action. Grassley expects partial agreements to move the budget forward and notes potential for advancing some policy pieces later.
