Two of the contenders in the Big Ten women’s race collide Monday night when 10th ranked Iowa visits number two Ohio State. The Hawkeyes are 7-1 in the league race while the Buckeyes are 8-0 and 19-0 overall.
That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder who calls this a big opportunity for her team.
With a physical stye and pressure defense the Buckeyes are holding opponents to just 26 percent from three point range.
(Radio Iowa) – This could be a pivotal week for Governor Kim Reynolds’ top legislative priority. Speaker Pat Grassley says the goal is for the House to take some level of action on the governor’s new bill to give state money over the next two years to low income parents sending kids to private school. In year three, all private school parents could apply for the state payment. Governor Reynolds told Radio Iowa state money spent on education should benefit all students.
“We made that decision a long time ago when it came to education. We just said we’re going to fund education for students, people that have the means and people that don’t. We fund Social Security the same way. It’s not based on whether you have money or you don’t,” Reynolds says, “so I feel like this is the status quo.” Some House Republicans have publicly said they will not vote for the plan. It would require “no” votes from at least 14 of the 64 Republicans in the House, though, to prevent its passage.
The governor’s bill is eligible for debate in the Iowa Senate this week as well. None of the Democrats in the Senate or the House will vote for the plan. Senator Claire Celsi of Des Moines says the core mission of the the legislature is to fund public, not private schools. “It’s an embarrassing overreach,” Celsi says. “It’s an embarrassing waste of taxpayer dollars for a very small portion of our population.” Senate President Amy Sinclair of Allerton says Republicans in the Senate have been supporting this move for years.
“I don’t think I’ve been shy in six years of introducing possibility after possibility on parents rights and choice in education,” Sinclair says. “For six years I’ve been singing this same song.” Governor Reynolds issued an open letter to Iowans late Friday, calling her plan a worthy investment in the future. The top Democrat in the Senate says the governor’s plan diverts state funding for public education to wealthy Iowans who don’t need the subsidy to pay private school tuition.
