Burlington faces cut in federal funds for alcoholism program
The Southeast Iowa Alcoholic Guidance Commission in Burlington may lose federal support by May 3, risking closure or drastic curtailment. The Iowa Comprehensive Alcoholism Project, started last July with a small staff, provides education, counseling, and direct aid to alcoholics and families, a facet of the nation’s first broader approach beyond jail. To continue, it needs under $20,000 annually, potentially funded by reallocating $1 million yearly liquor tax revenue, shifting taxes if federal dollars disappear. Local leaders must decide whether to fund privately or risk ending the program.
