  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 re-elected
  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, 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 to you 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, that is, 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 besieged 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.

  Representative Connors presented the Memorial Choir, who
  performed "The Irish Blessing."

  Representative Jacobs moved that the joint convention be
  dissolved at 2:54 p.m.

  The motion prevailed by a voice vote.

  The Senate returned to the Senate Chamber.
