Iowa Governor Warns Budget Deficit Will Exceed Earlier Forecast
Gov. Robert D. Ray announced that Iowa's general fund deficit will be larger than the $1.2 million projection, due to weaker sales tax receipts and slower income tax payments. He ruled out exceeding the $22 million cap and outlined belt-tightening steps while a top-level strategy session reviews options and possible tax changes. The report notes a rise in January unemployment to 4.9 percent and ongoing debate over tax hikes and budget measures.
