Iowa Republicans back boosting K-12 funding to 2001-02
Iowa lawmakers tentatively support Gov. Tom Vilsack's call to raise base K-12 budgets by about 79 million for 2001-02. Leaders warn the 4 percent growth may squeeze other priorities as they balance state revenues. If approved, 374 districts would get over 1.82 billion in state aid and 935 million in property tax revenue.

State revenues lag in January in Iowa
State revenues fell 2.8 percent from a year earlier in January with overall growth for fiscal 2001 near half of expectations. Sales tax rose 13.2 percent due to holiday shopping and late quarterly returns. corporate income tax dropped nearly 47 percent and lagged behind last year by 6.6 percent. Revenues through February total about 2.737 billion, 2.1 percent above last year, as personal income and sales taxes miss growth targets. Dennis Prouty notes the pace is weaker than desired.
