Here's a link this morning to a piece by Rep. Sami Scheetz (D-Cedar Rapids), an Iowa legislator I started to follow on social media during the session just completed because of what seems to me, at least, his potential for a positive political future in service to our state.
Posted last week at Iowa Starting Line, the headline "Most Harmful and Destructive Iowa Legislative Session Ever" fairly well sums it up.
It's a challenge to decide what will in long run be the most destructive act of the session, but I'll put my money on Gov. Kim Reynolds' "voucher" system, designed to enrich private schools at the expense of public education. That's going to be a difficult one to back away from when the consequences become evident in a few years.
