The 2015 Iowa legislative session ended over a week ago, but there’s a possibility the state’s lawmakers could be back to the Capitol this year. State Representative Clel Baudler says that education funding is typically done two years in advance. They funded only one upcoming school year and the Governor may call them back to fund the second. “We did not get the two year budgeting for the schools. The Governor wanted that. We (the House) were behind it, the Senate was against it. So we’ll have this education funding fight next year. But the Governor talked that a special session might be in sight because of that. The problem is, with a special session we can go above the 99% spending law and we can spend a lot more money than we have.”
Baudler will give us a full recap of the session today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com
