State faces first general fund deficit in modern Iowa history
Des Moines reports that by June 30, 1969-71 biennium end, Iowa's general fund will show a $10 million deficit. Comptroller Marven Selden and Governor Ray cite economy measures and savings as reducing the shortfall from an earlier $26 million estimate. Revenue declines, especially in sales and income taxes, plus delayed capital projects, contribute to the shortfall, though officials promise all obligations will be met.
