Cuts the target of a new bill

The Iowa House voted to eliminate state-funded preschool for all 4-year-olds last night, which leaves the program's fate in the hands of the Senate. The bill would also cut money for family planning services, eliminate quit-smoking programs, and but off state money to help establish passenger rail service from Chicago to Iowa City. The bill would save about $500 million over three years. Democrats argue the cuts are at the expense of Iowa families.
