Iowa revenue projection dips after tax cuts pass
Iowa's Revenue Estimating Conference trimmed the next three year outlook to 8.5 billion for the year starting July 1, down 218 million from December estimates. Panel members from LSA, the governor's office, and a public expert cited stronger withholding and higher refunds as drivers of the reduction. With current spending around 8.9 billion, lawmakers face possible cuts or use of surplus and relief funds under Governor Reynolds' plan for a 9.4 billion budget and a 2 billion surplus plus 4 billion Taxpayer Relief Fund.
