Budget actions cut state biennium by 1.6 million
The budget director itemized cuts totaling about 1.6 million for the biennium after a careful review. The revised measure passed the Senate unanimously. In the House an effort will target eliminating the salary grab appropriation. The Nilcott Tax reduction bill for 1981 and 1982 passed the House, and a reform amendment would authorize an extra levy for a school chimney or schoolhouse destruction scenario. Redistricting for Congress and Iowa State Senators progressed, with two senators per district in the future. The Fish and Game plan was amended in the Senate and concurred by the House, while the current warden and deputies will serve until 1938. A consolidation proposal with the Board of Conservation failed 29 to 15. Two night sessions were held as committees work overtime ahead of adjournment on April 14.
