Iowa governor presents bundled budget for 1967 69
The governor frames a 376.3 million dollar annual budget as a bundle not a loose mix. Critics say it falls short on education funding, property tax relief, and support for universities and public services, while restocking capital items and maintaining a large surplus. The plan hints at a possible tax increase and tax system revision, with legislative decisions due by May 15.

The Sierra Club, marking its 75th anniversary, defends its tax exempt status while opposing federal dam and park plans in California and Colorado river projects. CEO David Brower reports donations fell by about 125000 while membership grew 9000 as IRS audits threaten contributions.
