Sen. Herman Quirmbach breaks down the math on Gov. Reynolds' school voucher scheme. Her plan will divert $107 million in taxpayer money to private schools, while continuing to underfund the public education that 93 percent of Iowa kids rely on. #ialegis

Get this out onto our radio stations where rural voters get their local information!! Thank you, Senator!!

Vouchers do NOT help the overwhelming majority of Iowa's kids. In fact, vouchers hurt those kids.

Last century I took Econ 101 from then Professor Quirmbach. With that in mind, I 100% trust his numbers.

It’ll invevitably get worse as students graduate and leave this state. This state is on a downward spiral. Under fund schools, teachers look elsewhere for employment, parents will look to live elsewhere so their kids can get a quality education. This state is headed the wrong way

Just doing something for her rich donors.

I got so lucky to go through IA public schools in the 80's and 90's instead of the 00's and 10's. Sorry, zoomers.

Our public schools used to be among the best in the country. A pillar of civic strength. Our quarter has a public school on it. This plan is an effort to destroy that. Why? Who benefits? Follow the money.

@InkonElbows The media needs to report the economics on this. It needs to be widely published. Opponents of this policy need to be vocal. The only people this payout benefits are the owners of the for-profit private schools. Iowa public schools quality has declined with their budget.

State soonsored religious takeover.
