Lightfoot backs private schools on ICN network
GOP candidate Jim Lightfoot says private schools should be added to the Iowa Communications Network as an educational tool but notes private schools should cover hookup costs. He favors cooperation with private telecoms and opposes state takeover of ICN management. He also backs tax credits for nonpublic school families and a across the board income tax cut to spur growth.
