(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds says the 2023 legislative session has set Iowa on a new path, starting with what she calls transformational education reform. At the end of this month, low income parents of private school students can start applying for 76-hundred dollars in state money to cover tuition and other costs. House Speaker Pat Grassley says Reynolds and Republican candidates for the House promised action on this and other education-related issues.
“We’ve been in the majority now for over 10 years,” Grassley says. “We try to make commitments and follow through with those things that we tell Iowans that we’re going to do.” Another new law will ban classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary grades. Parents are to be notified if their child asks to be known by a different name or pronoun at school. And books with passages or graphic art about sex will be removed from school libraries. Representative Sharon Steckman, a Democrat from Mason City who’s a retired teacher, says educators are worried.
“I haven’t talked to one teacher that’s excited about any of it,” Steckman says. “They feel like they’re under a magnifying glass and not able to do their job.” The 2023 legislative session concluded shortly after 12:30 Thursday afternoon — a day after a property tax reform measure passed the House and Senate with just a single “no” vote. Senate Republican Leader Jack Whitver says the bill is historic.
“It’s putting in place things legislators have looked at for decades…but a perform storm of a focus of the legislature, a desire of Iowans to see this assessment issue fixed led to some of the best policy that we’ve been able to put forward on property taxes that I believe will truly have an impact at the local level for decades to come.” Democrats say they’re thrilled property owners will see relief, but they’ll be monitoring implementation to make sure cities and counties aren’t forced to cut essential services. Another bill that won final legislative approval this week eases some current restrictions on the jobs and hours teenagers may work. Governor Reynolds plans to sign it into law.
“I think it’s wonderful if kids want to try to earn some money while they’re in high school, maybe save for college because we continue to see the cost go up or maybe get a registered apprenticeship program,” Reynolds says. “They start that opportunity in a business and maybe go on not only to be employed there, but to stay in a rural community and raise a family and support our schools.” Democrats in the legislature opposed the bill and argued relying on teenagers to fill jobs isn’t the way to address the state’s workforce crisis. The governor says she’s not hearing concerns.
“I can’t even really understand all the hoopla about it. It doesn’t seem like very much common sense and I hear that when I travel around the state,” Reynolds says. “People are perplexed, I mean literally perplexed at why we would care if kids want to work or not. It’s not a mandate.” Reynolds says the bill will expand opportunities for young Iowans looking for experience in the workforce.
CAROL ANN [De Vore] FLETCHER, 72, of Shenandoah, died Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at home. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service for CAROL FLETCHER will be held 11:00 a.m., Monday, May 8, 2023 at the First United Methodist Church in Shenandoah. Wabash Memorial Chapel in Shenandoah has the arrangements
Visitation with the family will be held 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m., Sunday, May 7, 2023 at the Wabash Memorial Chapel.
Following the memorial service and luncheon the burial of cremains will be held at the Victoria Township Cemetery near Massena.
Memorials may be directed to the Shenandoah Elks Wrestling, People for Paws or the Shenandoah Public Library. Services entrusted to Wabash Memorial Chapel in Shenandoah, Iowa.
(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds has approved the property tax changes that cleared the legislature this week. “Legislation as complex and important as local property taxes only happen when policymakers are willing to dig into the weeds and get the details right,” Reynolds says. “This bill’s near unanimous passage through both chambers of the legislature is a testament to their long hours of work on behalf of the people of Iowa.”
The new law requires cities and counties to lower property tax collections based on a new formula that kicks in next year. It’s designed to limit property tax revenue growth after this spring’s assessments showed farmland and home values skyrocketing — which could lead to higher property tax bills in September of 2024. The plan includes more generous property tax benefits for veterans and elderly Iowans.
“All tolled, this bill will deliver $100 million in savings,” Reynolds said, “the most significant property tax reform in state history.” Reynolds signed the bill into law Thursday afternoon, shortly after the 2023 legislative session concluded. Senate Republican Leader Jack Whitver says lawmakers are listening to property owners.
“This spring they were shocked, appalled and concerned with the drastic assessment increases to their property and extremely concerned about what it would mean for their property taxes,” Whitver says. “We promised on the opening day of this session that we would address this issue and today we keep that promise.” Senator Dan Dawson, a Republican from Council Bluffs, led development of the bill.
“The historic building blocks being put into place here will start the long-term process of rebuilding our property tax system,” Dawson says. “Ultimately we are asking local governments to do what we have been doing at the state level: fund your priorities, but pass along some of this excess assessment valuation back to the taxpayers.” House Speaker Pat Grassley says the bill provides certainty as well as relief to property owners.
“This bill shows, as well as everything else that we’ve been able to accomplish…the ability for the governor’s office, the House and Senate to identify problems that Iowans have brought to us,” Grassley says, “and be able to take true action that provides true levels of reform.” Every Republican present and all but one Democrat in the legislature supported the bill. Senate Minority Leader Zach Wahls says Democrats are thrilled middle class families are getting relief and will listen to local officials who are worried about how to implement the changes.
House Minority Leader Jennifer Konfrst says Democrats want to make sure seniors and veterans don’t get smaller property tax bills, but wind up losing local services they depend upon.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “Going into the match today we felt good about playing on our home course. I knew they wanted to shoot well and win today. A few of us going off to some tough starts but found ways to grind through holes. Roth and Sam both had a string of bogey holes. Both finished the last few holes well to have a good score. Tristan had a very good front. 3 over and in good position. However, got into some trouble on a few holes especially 16. Had to battle to keep it below 80. I thought Tate had a great round. Good to see our 6th golfer come in with an 82. Hudson and Cruz just couldn’t get some consecutive par holes. Both had to battle at times. We were 5 shots from winning. It was a tough battle today. If we could have had a 75 in there that would have helped us and that is what the three teams ahead of us had today. We move on to Kuemper Tournament on Saturday.”
