Turner pledges no fund transfer despite looming office deficit
Iowa Attorney General Richard C. Turner warns the agency faces about a 42000 deficit without a supplemental appropriation and vows not to seek transfers from other departments. He cites past transfers as a hard lesson and says measures like attrition or salary cuts may follow if lawmakers delay action. He plans 5 percent raises for 54 staff earning under 17000, while 70 others see none. The office, largest in the state with 69 lawyers, faces rising salaries amid tight funding and debates over the constitutionality of transfer statutes.
