Branstad signs 300 million jobless fund bailout
Gov. Terry Branstad reluctantly signed a 300 million measure to bail out Iowa s bankrupt unemployment trust fund despite opposing it. He cited avoiding a special session and federal sanctions, while Democrats and business groups praised the move as solving state funding and preventing deeper cuts. The plan raises business taxes by 21 million and trims benefits by 87 million, including a one week waiting period for benefits to take effect in 1985, with debt to the fund projected toward 1 billion if no action is taken.
