- Home - Vilsack warns of federal budget impacts REGISTER WASHINGTON BUREAU March 28, 2006 Washington, D.C.

— Iowa Gov.

Tom Vilsack launched an aggressive letter-writing campaign to members of the Iowa delegation in the House today, telling them that the federal budget proposed by President Bush would "disrupt or dismantle services and protections for Iowans" in key areas.

The administration proposal would cut off 300,000 low-income Iowans from services by community action agencies, Vilsack said.
