Ray to Seek Bigger Pollution Control Budget in Iowa
Governor Robert D. Ray likely will back a substantial raise for the Iowa state health department to fund pollution control. Health Commissioner Arnold M. Reeve argues the bare-bones request of 2.7 million dollars reflects needs from the past two years, with staff shortages hampering water and air pollution work and delays in reporting. He seeks 36 environmental engineering, 17 air, seven water, and 11 solid waste staff plus enforcement of migrant housing laws.
