Tax bill veto eases Cedar Rapids funding worries
In Cedar Rapids Governor Robert Ray vetoed the liquor tax bill to fund alcoholism and drug treatment programs. Fred Uphoff of the Citizens' Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse said the decision creates funding gaps for two half way houses due to Title XX restrictions, but another plan is being considered. The agency on Lakeside Drive NE has a $261,000 annual budget, with $115,000 already granted from state and Title XX funds.
