Branstad backs plan to trim welfare with day care expansion
Governor Branstad endorses a $3.5 million welfare reform package to raise day care and medical services for low income families. The proposal, from a welfare reform council, could cut about 2,000 families from aid and save 1.56 million dollars in the 1988-89 year. It calls for statewide day care subsidies, expanding ADC medical benefits to 12 months for working recipients, and several supporting measures to coordinate services and incentivize employment.

Iowa tax relief groups back Branstad plan near compromise
Iowa Association of Business and Industry and Iowa for Tax Relief welcomed the Branstad plan to cut the top income tax rate below 10 percent and adopt federal tax changes. They praised progress after a nine month deadlock, while reserving full judgment until the plan is released. The proposal keeps federal tax deduction on state returns, preserves married filing separately, ends capital gains special treatment, and faces differing views on total revenue impact.
