The @iowademocrats@twitter.com state central committee has approved the agenda for today’s 9am meeting (which technically started at 9:23am due to technical issues).

They’re taking a 10 min break. Chair election next. #iapolitics

Good point here. Budget transparency is abt ZERO when a state goes to private schools. No public mandatory audits, no open records law. And in the early stages, almost no administrative rules. This was the Florida disaster. Will #Iowa do same? #iapolitics https://www.pnj.com/story/opinion/2018/05/05/editorial-private-school-fraud-problems-made-legislature/576431002/

Why doesn't the @IowaGOP@twitter.com want young families to have babies? So many stories of young couples putting off having kids because of #Iowa's miserable starting wages. $7.25 doesn't raise kids. Time to ask #IaLegis, #IaGov, #ComradeChuck, @SenJoniErnst@twitter.com, #KKKQim abt this. #IaPolitics https://twitter.com/funder/status/1614296658908483585

In this post is a link to a pdf of the Students First Act (a.k.a. voucher bill) as mentioned by Iowa Governor Reynolds last night. It is SSB1022 and may get hearings as early as today. #iapolitics

#IA03 Congressman-elect Zach Nunn is all but assured to vote for Kevin McCarthy for speaker next week. I wonder how the activists in our district will react to that after this? #iapolitics

This week the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee will recommend a primary/caucus calendar for the 2024 presidential election to the full DNC. Iowa seems likely to lose First in the Nation, if not in 2024, then in 2028. I believe Iowa Democrats should avoid this caucus dog and pony show to winning elections. #iapolitics

My thoughts on what Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley is up to with his new "Education Reform Committee."

Despite the large incoming GOP majority, I don't think Governor Kim Reynolds' school voucher plan is a done deal. #Iowa #edu #iapolitics #ialegis https://www.bleedingheartland.com/2022/11/21/will-pat-grassleys-power-play-get-school-vouchers-through-iowa-house/
