The Honorable John Connors presented the Honorable Arthur
Neu, former Lieutenant Governor, who addressed the joint
convention as follows:
It seems strange to be back up here today. I remember being here many times from
1973 through 1978, but always to introduce then Governor Bob Ray.
In reading about your problems this session, I was reminded of the General
Assembly in 1967. In 1964 there was a sweep by the Democrats in the election which
resulted in both houses, the Governor's Office as well as the entire executive council
with but one exception, being held by that party. In the 1968 election, the Republicans
regained control of the House by a very narrow margin, but the Democrats still
controlled the Senate by a three vote margin. Harold Hughes was reelected as
Governor.
I was one of the freshmen Senators, and it was an experience. The session was the
longest ever and didn't adjourn until early July. A consensus developed as soon as
warm weather arrived that the air circulation system in this wonderful old building
was woefully inadequate.
What made me think of the '67 session was your struggle with school legislation.
Prior to 1967 state aid to schools was minimal. The public school system was largely
funded with property tax. There was a consensus that something had to be done but no
agreement on how to accomplish this.
The Republicans in the House passed a school aid proposal called "The Petersen
Plan", and the Senate passed a plan called "Proportionate Sharing." In addition, there
was not nearly enough revenue to fund either plan, so a tax increase was unavoidable
if the state was going to provide significant aid to the public schools.
Each House passed its school aid plan and the whole thing ended up in a conference
committee. The committee merged the two plans, and, although it did not have
authority to decide on what if any taxes were to be increased, acknowledged that the
plan depended on increased revenue. The committee met with Governor Hughes and
the leadership of both parties in each House. After some posturing, the school aid plan
was agreed to as were the taxes to fund the aid.
The proposal was reported out and passed both Houses by a wide margin. A large
majority of each party in each House supported the legislation and Iowa had its first
significant aid to schools. Ironically the legislation was supported by the ISEA and the
farm bureau - a modest miracle in itself I thought.
I recall a guest editorial in the Des Moines Register in 1997 (4-20-97) when
California economist Arthur Laffer derided a small tax cut and also noted that "good
policies always pass by the skin of their teeth…nothing truly great is ever so clear as to
command a massive plurality." This is unadulterated nonsense. Some of the greatest
most far reaching legislation passed by the Iowa legislature during my time passed by
enormous majorities when the two parties and the legislative and executive branches
came together.
The point of all this is that I think there is a consensus in Iowa today that we have
to increase teachers' salaries. It may not be possible to do as much as we would like to
do this session because of the drop in revenue, but still a consensus does exist.
Therefore, given the makeup of state government today, a legislature controlled by one
party, but by a very narrow margin, and an executive branch by the other party, the
only way legislation will be passed is if both parties play a major role in the drafting of
the school legislation and approve the final product. To try to do otherwise is at best
misguided and at worst cynical. I can also tell you that there is more cynicism toward
government today than there has been for a long time. That cynicism is not lessened by
bickering over what the public considers intricate provisions in the proposed
legislation. I do not think there is any political advantage to be gained unless you can
pass a reasonable bill to increase teachers' salaries and you will not pass it unless
there is a consensus among the two parties and the Governor.
I have seen the statistics showing an upcoming shortage of teachers in this state.
While increased salaries are certainly the most important ingredient in attracting
more young people into the field, it seems to be that other programs should be
considered.
For example, rural Iowa has many highly intelligent people who are unable to
travel any distance to attend college or university. They are essentially locked into
their region by family matters. These people would be excellent teachers. They will not
be recruited away and, they will teach in schools in their region.
The University of Northern Iowa and the Des Moines Area Community College
have such a program in Carroll where DMACC teaches the first two years following
UNI requirements. The second two years are taught by UNI faculty both in person and
over the ICN. Of the twenty-five graduates from this program to date, twenty-three are
teaching in schools in the region. The program would not require new bricks and
mortar and would only involve some additional personnel. They could be taught on
community college campuses throughout the state. It will only be successful, however,
if both sectors work together in a cooperative fashion, do not try to make the program
into a profit center and use bona fide faculty. If the college does not utilize instructors
who would qualify to teach on their campus, then the programs become a farce which
must be guarded against. I strongly recommend that such a program be put into effect
statewide to help address our teacher shortage.
Additionally, I understand that the teacher shortage is more acute for certain
subjects. Why not give school boards authority to establish pay differentials? If a board
determines that they have a special need for a physics teacher, why shouldn't the board
have authority to establish a salary above the level that teacher would receive under
the district's salary schedule?
I also note increased discussion for school reorganization. Some schools today are
clearly too small. I recommend you to the Great Plains Report which was commissioned
by the Legislature in 1964. The last time I checked there was one copy remaining in
the Service Bureau Library. The report looked at school districts and concluded that
there was an optimum size - that districts could be too large and too small. The per
pupil cost was like a bell curve. Districts that were too large or too small could be given
incentives beyond what exist today, to merge. You could consider county-like districts
in rural areas where several districts would be merged with one superintendent and
one board but with multiple attendance centers. Thus, in a rural county with four
districts predominantly within the county, they could still retain their four high schools
with all the extra-curricular activities remaining in the community but sharing faculty
and even facilities. There would be some savings but also some additional
transportation costs. Students would have the advantage of more class offerings and
better qualified instructors in some instances.
Lastly I find myself perplexed by one action or inaction of this general assembly.
Some years ago you created rainy day funds. This was even discussed in antiquity
when I was down here and it should have been enacted then. You showed foresight
when you created these funds. What I fail to understand is your failure to utilize the
funds now that there is a downturn in our economy and the state's revenue has fallen
substantially below projections. While some may think this is not an emergency, it
certainly seems so to me. Why else create the fund if not to use when revenue dips
substantially. When the economy starts to grow again, you can start to replenish the
fund.
What you must realize is that state programs can certainly be cut, but when they
are, there are repercussions to some of the people. Sometimes it takes years before the
total impact is understood but it does have an effect. For example cut funds to prisons
and you are encouraging more overcrowding than we now have and a takeover by the
federal courts. Cut school aid, and gradually the quality of our schools and the
infrastructure will deteriorate. The same is true with our universities and community
colleges. I understand that this is gradual but it nonetheless takes place. When we try
to encourage new businesses to come to Iowa or existing businesses to expand in Iowa,
they all tell me they look at our infrastructure, i.e. schools, hospitals, roads etc.
Additionally, when you reduce state programs, invariably costs are shifted to the local
property tax which is probably the one Iowa tax that is out of line with surrounding
states. By arbitrarily putting limits on local governments beyond what now exists, you
are hamstringing the government that is closest to the people. Instead of limiting local
government, during the good times of the last ten or so years, you should have been
shifting the cost from the property tax to state revenue such as has been done with
schools.
I understand that in times such as these your job is difficult. There is a government
that is divided politically. You are beseiged by outsiders and press who know what you
should do but who do not have a consensus among themselves. Whatever you do there
will be critics who berate you. Notwithstanding all this, remember that there have
been times when under such circumstances some of our best legislation has been
passed and that it has stood the test of time. I certainly wish you success with the very
difficult issues confronting you today.
