State may show 1949 surplus of 72 million dollars
Iowa Taxpayers Association based its projection on last year receipts. If tax yields continue the same pattern for 1947-1949, the 1949 legislature could face an expendable balance exceeding 72 million dollars, up from about 63 million in the prior biennium. The ITA notes the figure is a projection not an estimate and excludes special funds and bonds earmarked for construction.
