Iowa lawmakers edge budget bills amid tight revenue debate
Iowa legislators advance austere budgets for education justice systems and health services as they push toward adjourning the 2017 session. Gov Branstad says the $7.245 billion plan trims 38 million from his proposal and must stay within 99 percent of projected revenue. Critics warn of cuts to health, family planning, public health and state parks while warnings of a looming budget shortfall and risk to pandemic response loom over discussions.
