Branstad Doubts 15 Percent Iowa Tax Cut Feasible
Governor Terry Branstad said Iowa may not afford a 15 percent income tax cut and aims to forge a compromise next session after reviewing the current budget and the impact of 950 million dollars in tax relief planned over six years. He backs a meaningful reduction but opposes eroding federal deductibility or married filing protections. Branstad also signaled possible vetoes on capital projects and criticized a proposed crime bill as too soft, calling for tougher measures and space-sharing reforms at the Capitol.

Iowa nursing home inspections lag as funding cuts bite
Iowa licensed nursing homes saw only three of 183 inspections in fiscal 1994 fueling concern from the State Auditor and legislators. Officials cite state funding cuts and staffing gaps as reasons for missed unannounced checks, while a plan to add four inspectors aims to improve compliance by 1996.
