Ray Sees Legislature Moving Fast to Meet Budget Aim
Iowa Governor Robert Ray praised the 1969 legislature for rapid progress toward enacting much of his program. He expects a short session and noted good relations with lawmakers despite some disagreements. Ray backed limited 1968 tax credit refunds for those earning $3,000 or less and opposed full retroactive repeal. He estimated credit costs at 4 to 5 million this year, with last year’s over 13 million, and planned to liquidate the Korean War veterans bonus fund to cover the budget gap, leaving about 4 million after bonuses.
