Iowa, welcome to one of the largest bond cycles in state history.
The good news? It’s one thing voters can control.
The bad news? You’ll need to do a little extra reading at the polls. There are 55 separate bond measures on the ballot for the Nov. 4 election, totaling $1.6 million in new debt. Of those, 41 are from school districts that need improvements and renovations they can’t get funded with the state’s education budget.
The success of a bond measure depends on local community support—not the party in power at the state legislature.
