Avenson Assails Branstad Plan For Teacher Pay Hike
Democrat Don Avenson labeled Gov. Terry Branstad’s pledge to raise teachers’ salaries a phony promise that would force severe cuts or tax hikes to balance Iowa’s budget. Branstad defended a growth-based path and vetoes, while Avenson warned of a $10.4 million next-year deficit and possible $170 million shortfall by 1992. Avenson proposed waiving auto registration fees for cars meeting California emissions standards. Branstad favored tying minimum wage to federal levels but noted Legislature’s resistance to a 40 cent per hour raise set for 1992.
