Ray dodges wage freeze floated by Iowa lawmakers
In Des Moines a group of four Iowa Republicans from the Dirty 30 urged a one year salary freeze for all state workers to save up to 48 million dollars amid a projected 35 to 50 million dollar deficit for fiscal 1982. Governor Ray rejected the move while noting already approved 8 percent raises for organized state employees and smaller or frozen legislator pay.
