The Iowa Legislature's Government Oversight Committee held hearings last week after an investigation by the Des Moines Register turned up allegations of misspent taxpayer money and conflicts of interest by the Iowa Association of School Boards. The school board association disclosed during the hearing that it owes consultants more than $2 million, and that the Skills Iowa program double-billed taxpayers for $500,000 worth of expenses last year. The program helps Iowa schools with short-term borrowing, and could slow that process down this year.
