Culver delivers "Condition of State" speech, asks legislators to provide schools
|
|
by O.Kay Henderon, Radio Iowa
DES MOINES --- Governor Chet Culver is calling on legislators to send more state aid to Iowa’s K-through-12 public schools. The opening paragraph in the “Condition of the State” speech Culver delivered at the statehouse this morning uses the word “extraordinary” to describe the challenges facing state lawmakers this year.
“There’s much to do, and no time to waste,” according to the governor.
Twice in the speech Culver calls on legislators to help ensure the 21st century will be “Iowa’s Century.” And Culver offers a defense of the way he and his fellow Democrats in the legislature have handled the state’s finances.
On education, Culver asks that legislators send K-through-12 public schools in Iowa $100 million to make up for some of the across-the-board cut he ordered in October, plus Culver says legislators should keep the commitment they made and provide a two percent increase in general state aid to schools for the academic year that begins this fall.
