Governor Ray's budget could yield windfall for Iowa
Des Moines reports swift legislative action on Governor Robert D. Ray budget may bring 5 to 6 million dollars to offset an 11.1 million deficit. The plan raises individual income taxes by one third retroactive to Jan 1 1971 and could allow new withholding rates by May if approved quickly. A 3 cent per pack cigarette tax could add about 2 million. The proposal would distribute 30 million dollars to school districts for 1971-72, about 45 dollars per pupil.
