Culver Rejects Tax Increases For Now Budget Cuts Outlined
Gov. Chet Culver announced $75 million in budget cuts to place Iowa on firm footing for the next year and stated there will be no tax increases at this time. He ordered agency hiring freezes and 1.1 percent spending cuts across state entities, while seeking further savings from the Homeland Security and Alcoholic Beverages divisions and reductions in equipment purchases and travel. He signaled potential additional cuts and even personal pay concessions, while leaving room for future tax debate depending on Revenue Estimating Conference findings.
