This week, Auditor Rob Sand published a report explaining exactly what went wrong with Odyssey.
FIRST: Gov. Reynolds and her GOP allies in the State Senate have prioritized their donors and special interests instead of students, parents and teachers who rely on quality public schools.
THEN: Her administration negotiated a massive contract with an out of state, for profit company, and after the contract was finalized, they changed the contract to more than double the amount negotiated to Odyssey . This is taxpayer-funded waste that is costing Iowans for a voucher scheme we didn’t want in the first place.
NOW: We learned about this extreme misuse of funds and we must hold this negligence accountable.
John – Iowans have received the short end of the stick when it comes to our public education, and now it's gone from bad to worse.
But we can do much better – Iowa Senate Democrats are fighting for a better deal for all Iowans. Can you chip in to help us take back the majority? >>
