Des Moines Governor Signals Small Current Budget Gap
Des Moines Governor Chet Culver says deeper spending cuts are unlikely this fiscal year as revised revenue estimates narrow the gap. He warns fiscal 2011 will require additional reductions, hoping to minimize them through proposed efficiencies, streamlining, and government reorganization after the Revenue Estimating Conference cut current year projections by 36.8 million.

Culver faces heat over cost cuts and revised receipts
Culver officials defend 10 percent across the board cuts after revising the fiscal 2011 tax revenue forecast to 5.401 billion, down from 2009 by 532.8 million, with a $188 million ending balance cushion. Dick Oshlo notes no further spending changes needed despite the drop. Iowa may have seen the worst of the recession, officials say.
