Welfare cuts squeeze county funds in Iowa
County officials warn ongoing federal welfare reductions will raise property taxes and strain budgets. Iowa Social Services projects $15 million in cuts with 3,100 to 3,900 Aid to Dependent Children losses and 4,000 to 4,600 benefit reductions, while medical care funding also falls 3 percent. Officials fear counties will face deeper cuts and a tight December budget season as legislators decide allocations and a district office overhaul aims to save $2.1 million yearly by halving offices and trimming 112.5 jobs.
