Vilsack rejects GOP tax cuts while defending child protection needs
Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack vetoed three Republican tax cut bills citing nearly $9 million in capital gains relief over two years while states services for vulnerable children face cuts. He signed a $779 million human services budget with a $7.5 million reduction and criticized GOP inaction after the Shelby Duis case.

Auditor says 2002 Iowa budget exceeded spending limit
State Auditor Richard Johnson says the fiscal 2002 budget passed by lawmakers exceeded the 99 percent spending cap by 3.9 million before Gov. Tom Vilsack’s vetoes. Vilsack aides dispute the figure, citing unresolved final actions on all budget bills and a $500,000 figure under the limit after vetoes. Johnson warns reductions may be needed in a June 19 special session to comply.
