No special session for Iowa budget deficit in 2003
Iowa officials ruled out a second special legislative session this year to fix a $64 million deficit for fiscal 2003. Gov. Tom Vilsack and House Speaker Christopher Rants backed delaying the work to January’s regular session to save taxpayers the cost of a one day session. Auditor David Vaudt said the deficit must be noted in the fiscal 2003 report and cannot be avoided by an extra session.

Judge Larry Conmey ruled officers acted in good faith under Iowa domestic assault immunity after a Russian fiancée accused Workman of assaults and a gun threat during 2001. Workman may appeal.
