Iowa lawmakers are still hung up on budget numbers.

Senator Randy Feenstra of Hull says the differences are really pretty small…

 

The real sticking point is on education spending. House republicans have offered an increase of one point two five percent, while Senate Democrats initially wanted to add four percent to state aid.

Feenstra says House republicans don’t want to budge…

 

Feenstra says he would settle on a two percent increase. He thinks there has to be some movement this week…

 

Expense payments for Iowa legislators run out after this Friday.
