Fight for preschool bill not over

The broad spending cut bill passed by the House Wednesday night may run into trouble in the Senate. Senate, Majority Leader Michael Gronstal said they've got the votes they need to kill the legislation. The bill would eliminate Iowa’s preschool program, cut money for family planning services, eliminate smoking cessation programs, cancel state university sabbaticals for 1 ½ years and cut off state money to help establish passenger rail service from Chicago to Iowa City.
