Reynolds defends decision to decline $95 million in federal funds
Governor Reynolds says she declined $95 million dollars in federal funds for Covid surveillance testing in Iowa schools because the state has nearly $300 million in federal funding available for testing.
“We can’t continue to just take this money. There is a cost to taxpayers,” Reynolds said during a news conference this morning. “And the amount of money that is flowing into these states because of some of the bad decisions that some of the other states have made is unconscionable.”
Public health officials say surveillance testing isn’t about diagnosing individuals, but about collecting data to understand and predict outbreaks.
