Earl and Ausman weigh state budget effects
Governor Earl vetoed 78 budget items totaling about 55 million dollars, aiming at a 342 million dollar projected surplus by July 1. Ausman praised positive property tax relief for agriculture, noted changes to tax burden shifts, and discussed farmland preservation credits rising to 90 percent, with erosion funds growing but cross compliant with preservation. Earl spoke of supporting farmers, international marketing push, hopes to keep young farmers in business, and a possible Senate run with a late July decision.
