The contract for the school vouchers program got doubled with nothing in return for taxpayers. Then we got stonewalled in the auditor's office for six months before they gave us that contract.

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim that a school voucher contract was doubled with no taxpayer benefit, and that the auditor's office was denied access to the contract for six months — both verifiable against public records.
What we foundThe contract cost is confirmed to be on track to more than double and the six-month delay in receiving the contract is confirmed, but the claim that taxpayers received 'nothing in return' is disputed by the Iowa Department of Education, which provided a substantive justification.
