Iowa faces potential deficit despite no catastrophe
Des Moines reports Iowa ends the year with a tight budget and forecasts a roughly 30 million dollar deficit for the next fiscal year. Legislative Fiscal Bureau director Denny Prouty warns receipts may shrink further and county cash flow measures are planned to bridge the gap. Acting Comptroller William Krahl says the year may close with 972 thousand dollars status and a new law could boost funds by up to 15 million. The Legislative Council plans to monitor the deficit closely with a fiscal committee.
