As the state prepares for budget hearings, the Iowa Democratic Party reminds Iowans about their site ReynoldsBudgetCrisis.org, a resource to get the facts about Kim Reynolds’ budgetary mismanagement and misplaced priorities.

“Make no mistake, the Reynolds Budget Crisis is not just bad luck or, as Governor Reynolds says, a slow farm economy. It is the result of specific policy decisions made and promoted by Governor Reynolds to benefit wealthy businesses and special interests, and now, as we’ll see in the hearings today, Iowans are paying the price,” said Iowa Democratic Party Spokesperson Tess Seger.

As these hearings proceed, it is also important to note that Governor Reynolds’ decision to borrow $13 million from Iowa’s reserves to close out FY 17 is still under legal question.
