DES MOINES Top lawmakers discussed state budget negotiations Thursday during a closed-door meeting with the goal of inching closer to completing this year s session.
We are making progress,http://verdensbedstenogensinde.dk/wp-rdf.php?fodboldtroslashjer-klubhold-boca-juniors-troslashje-bedste-332_335_347.html, Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal said after the meeting, which included legislative leaders from both parties and the governor s office.
A scant few rank-and-file legislators were at the Capitol on Thursday. Most of the policy work is finished and the focus has shifted to the various pieces of the state budget,http://www.welshdiving.co.uk/wp-feed.php?c/adidas.
The largest portion of the state budget,http://lasvegaspizzeria.com/wp-blog.php?stores/realmadrid/es/products/kitselector/home-kit-15-16/real-madrid-camiseta-de-la-1%25C2%25AA-equipaci%25C3%25B3n15-16-infantil-sergio-ramos-4/1012970, K-through-12 public education,http://www.fodig.de/settings.php?Bundesliga-Deutschland/Fortuna-Duesseldorf/, remains one of the biggest items on lawmakers agenda.
But an impasse that has hung over much of the session may soon be at an end,http://www.seduberry.com/wp-xml.php?nike-fotballsko/nike-magista. One lawmaker tweeted this week that a compromise has been proposed.
Leaders remained adamant Thursday that no formal deal has been reached but that negotiations continue and progress is being made,http://www.vincinibottier.com/wp-xml.php?la-liga-valencia-cf-c-562_578.html.
Lawmakers have debated since early in the session how much state money to send to K-12 schools. Republicans have called for a 1.25 percent increase over the previous year; Democrats have lowered their proposal from a 6 percent increase to 2.625 percent.
The compromise proposal Rep. Art Staed, D-Cedar Rapids, posted this week on social media would be the rough equivalent of a 2.625-percent increase,http://rentasgastronomicas.com/wp-image.php?categorie/chaussures-de-foot/diadora, with just 1.25 percent going into the school funding budget baseline for the next fiscal year.
We ll just have to see where that (school funding debate) goes, House Speaker Kraig Paulsen said, joining other leaders in emphasizing no agreement has been reached. I wouldn t say at this point that either any kind of formal proposal has been offered. But there s obviously a lot of conversations about a lot of different things.
Leaders said most of the budget bills will be negotiated next week in conference committees,http://www.agrolangeland.dk/rex_v.php?fodboldtroslashjer-vm-2014-fodboldtroslashjer-frankrig-bedste-332_372_386.html, which are small groups of lawmakers from both political parties and Statehouse chambers designated to iron out differences in the parties budget proposals.
Gov. Terry Branstad implored lawmakers to iron out their differences on the budget and to pass a few of his policy priorities that remain on hold in the Legislature: a package of tools for schools to address bullying and a plan to encourage the expansion of broadband Internet access to rural areas.
I think there s still a lot to be done, Branstad said.
Some leaders expressed hope the session is near its end,http://www.producteursdemaregion.com/_theme.php?maillot-football-italie-confed-id_8272134.html.
Asked if legislators could wrap up their work next week, Paulsen said, It s a possibility, yes.
Not everyone shared Paulsen s guarded optimism.
I don t get that sense at all (that legislators will be done next week),http://www.brassogtreblaas.no/tag.php?Billige-Barcelona-14-15-Fotballdrakter-3rd, said Rep. Clel Baudler,http://www.sellitnewark.co.uk/wp-db.php?Replica-milgauss-watches-c-479_488.html, R-Greenfield,http://www.danalund-drageriet.dk/vendanafor.php?et_switchpricedisplay/index/index/vat/2/page/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbXNwb3J0LmRrL3RyeWsvc3BpbGxlcmUvYmFsZT9saW1pdD0xMDUmbW9kZT1saXN0/currency/DKK/, one of the few rank-and-file legislators at the Capitol on Thursday. We ll see.相关的主题文章：
