State auditor warns of more cuts ahead in Iowa
Des Moines Bureau reports Gov. Vilsack and legislative leaders near a deal for a Thursday special session to finalize a budget plan. State Auditor Richard Johnson warns that continuing negative revenue trends from the September 11 attacks suggest another $200 million in spending cuts before June 30. He notes tax revenues remain $2.5 billion below the prior year with only 1.9 percent annualized growth. Johnson supports triggers to restore part of the 4.3 percent across the board cut if revenues rebound and hints at a possible December special session if conditions worsen.
