State budget
Last week, Gov. Chet Culver released the Iowa Efficiency Review report, which shows 90 recommendations for cost-saving measures to save $340 million in the first year, and nearly $1.7 billion in the next five years. The recommendations include being smart purchasers; managing state assets better; taking full advantage of e-government solutions; delivering government services more efficiently; leveraging funds and improving financial management; and common sense changes. In the coming week, Gov. Culver will sign an executive order enacting most of the recommendations for executive action. CV
