GOP calls for deeper budget cuts in Iowa
Iowa Republicans criticized Gov. Tom Vilsack for a 2002 budget revision they say fails to cut spending enough. They face a $285 million gap and consider deeper reductions, possible emergency fund taps, or service cuts affecting prisons, public safety, and medical programs, while disputing the urgency of an economic emergency.

Private schools protest cuts in transportation
Parochial school parents and administrators flood Gov. Tom Vilsack's office with about 500 e-mails opposing a proposed 70 percent cut in transportation funds for private schools. The plan would limit reimbursements to students eligible for free or reduced lunch, risking closures of rural parochial schools and altering busing for two mile distant students.
