This week, Iowa House Republicans proposed a series of bills aimed at fixing teacher shortages that have plagued schools across the state. Democrats also see this as a key issue, but are proposing a $300 million increase in funding as the solution. Sabrina Ahmed sits down with leaders from both parties to break down their plans.
Then, a look at the future of Iowa's income tax after varying proposals came out from House and Senate Republicans, Democrats and the governor.
And after the chaos of the 2020 election cycle, will Iowa be able to hold onto its position as the first state for caucuses in 2024? Why national Democrats are reconsidering the state's status and the potential impact of changing the caucus schedule.
