Branstad Education Proposals Draw Budget Debate
Legislators critique Branstad's 4.1 percent education increase and a 22.4 million reform package covering teacher pay and early childhood programs. Rife warns funding favors education at the expense of elderly, prisons, and safety, while Chapman and others seek class size cuts and juvenile liaison officers. Leaders split on overall impact and hog farm controls.

Branstad Proposes $4.54 Billion Iowa Budget with Cap Call
Iowa Governor Branstad asked lawmakers to approve a 4.54 billion dollar fiscal 1998 budget, up 125 percent from 1984 and 4.1 percent from this year. He again urged a constitutional limit on state spending and taxes as supporters point to past growth and opponents cite local impact. An amended taxpayers rights proposal may be submitted to legislators this year.
