OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Governor Kim Reynolds ★ Lt. Governor Chris Cournoyer FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, May 2, 2025 MEDIA CONTACT: Mason Mauro, (515) 745-2840, [email protected] Gov. Reynolds issues statement on state budget negotiations
DES MOINES— Today, Governor Kim Reynolds issued the following statement on ongoing state budget negotiations:
“Our negotiations on the budget have never been focused on funding for paraeducators. A final compromise may very well include additional funding for paraeducators, but we currently have a number of differences across budget bills, and I am focused on the total amount of money we are spending across the board. As Governor of this state, it is my responsibility to ensure we land on a final budget compromise that reflects our record of fiscal responsibility and puts taxpayers first. I look forward to continuing to work with the House and Senate to do just that.”
