Thoughts on Education Spending
With all the controversy on education spending in the just concluded legislative
session, several often ignored facts are relevant. Nationally, school spending per stu-
dent has increased greatly over the last 40 years or so, but test scores have remained
stagnant. Iowa Democrats constantly complain that Iowa's per pupil spending is well
below the national average. They ignore the fact that when cost of living is taken into
account, Iowa is roughly at the national average. National studies show that there is
no particular correlation between spending per pupil and test scores among the
various states. Anyone wanting to look at the studies can find the information by
searching the internet for "school spending by state" and "education test scores by
state."
Bills I Introduced
You may not be surprised to learn that I sponsored or co'sponsored a number of
bills that received no consideration in the Senate. Here are some of them:
SF 65- Requires that if a state agency is promulgating a rule required by federal
law, the explanation shall identify the federal law or regulation requiring the rule
and specify the consequences for failure to adopt the rule.
SF 121- Requires that the reasons that state employees are terminated or state
employee bonuses are paid, be made public, along with any settlement agreements
for terminated employees.
SF 231- Requires that iowa employers use the federal e-verify system to be sure
that persons they are hiring are in the country legally and can be legally hired.
SF 239- Restores the death penalty for those kidnapping, sexually abusing and
murdering a minor.
SF 390- Provides that the identity of those persons holding non-professional per-
mits to carry weapons be kept confidential.
SJR 10- A proposed amendment to the Iowa Constitution limiting spending to the
lesser of 99% of the revenue estimate for the coming fiscal year, or 104% of estimated
revenue for the current fiscal year.
SJR 11- An amendment placing the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa
Constitution.
