[edit] Culver's staff sits on cuts list

"Gov. Chet Culver's staff has delayed sharing with Iowans a list of recommended budget cuts given to the governor from state departments, an issue being reviewed by the Iowa attorney general.

Iowans not only have the right to know, but also the need to know what state services could be cut before decisions are made so that the ideas may be publicly vetted, some groups say.

Culver is expected to cut as much as $40 million from the state's $6.1 billion budget next week, using the recommendations from department heads that he requested last month."
