Governor
Culver
Presents Budget Proposal
Posted 28 January
2010
Governor Chet Culver
released his Fiscal Year 2011 Budget recommendation. The
Governor’s $5.32 billion proposal spends less money than the budget at
the time the Governor took office, and provides necessary resources to
key priority areas – education, health care, and public safety.
“My budget is balanced,” said Governor Culver. “It does not raise taxes
on hardworking Iowans. And it protects some priorities which will
continue to strengthen our state, keeping our commitment to children’s
health insurance, public safety, and education at all levels.”
Below are details on the Governor’s budget. In addition, to see
the full budget recommendation, visit the Governor’s website at www.governor.iowa.gov.
