At her Condition of the State Address on Jan. 9, Gov. Kim Reynolds proposed raising teacher pay, overhauling Area Education Agencies (AEAs), and cutting income taxes. House Minority Leader Rep. Jennifer Konfrst sat down for an “Iowa Press” interview afterward and detailed why the governor’s speech only scratched the surface of what these proposals would actually do.

Jennifer Konfrst and her colleagues have a few questions. #iowa #iowalegislature #education #teacherpay ♬ original sound – Iowa Starting Line
@iowastartingline Gov. Reynolds wants to overhaul Area Education Agencies, which provide essential special and adaptive education services to all Iowa schools. Rep. Jennifer Konfrst wonders how this ties to the governor’s promises to support Iowa schools. #iowa #iowanews #iowalegislature #education ♬ original sound – Iowa Starting Line
@iowastartingline Gov. Reynolds proposed another tax cut during the Condition of the State address. Rep. Jennifer Konfrst proposes some other costs that could be cut, as well as Iowans who won’t see the benefits. #iowa #iowanews #iowalegislature ♬ original sound – Iowa Starting Line
