State urged to use surplus for snow removal aid
Cedar Rapids officials urge the state to tap budget surplus for snow removal as city budgets run overran. Finance Commissioner Hal Schaefer says the governor should consider aid after eastern Iowa’s harsh winter and failed requests for federal help. Mayor Donald Canney notes bills proposing $5 million transfers and a fuel tax boost to a snow fund, with repayment via future taxes.
