Iowa Human Services approves partial budget cuts
The Iowa Council on Human Services authorized a 15 million plus reduction for the Department of Human Services, leaving about 16 million short of Gov Branstad's 3.85 percent across the board cut. Protesters from Kathleen's Residential Care Facility and others urged less severe reductions while noting staff losses and program delays. The plan lowers appropriations through June 30, 1986 from 394.8 million to 379.6 million.

Iowa liquor stores face empty shelves shorter hours and longer lines as Gov Branstad’s 3.8 percent across the board budget cut reduces the agency budget by 782604 from 203 million. Director Patrick Cavanaugh says layoffs unlikely but hours and deliveries may be trimmed and unprofitable outlets replaced with agency stores to absorb the loss.
