Iowa faces 1988 budget gap with 3 percent revenue growth projected
Budget adviser Cavanaugh outlines a 1988 shortfall as revenue may miss needed funds. Automatic increases in school aid and state employee raises along with human services growth push appropriations to 2.58 billion, threatening a 10 percent revenue surge shortfall. Options discussed include a cigarette tax hike and cautious revenue reduction to avoid tax increases. Governor Branstad tightens spending focus amid a balanced-budget requirement.
