Budget cuts in Iowa total 108 million under new budgeting plan
Governor Vilsack outlines a 108 million reduction across state agencies with 163 layoffs already completed and 750 positions targeted. Agencies may use furloughs to meet savings while shifting to a 1 supervisor per 12 employees ratio. An additional 200 million in savings is planned in the 2003 budget, with no tax hikes or emergency reserves tapped. Hardest hit are regent universities, the corrections system, human services, and community colleges. Republican leaders deem the cuts appropriate but warn the total may exceed 108 million.
