The state auditor says legislators should consider using the more than $800 million state budget surplus to pay off state debts. State Auditor Dave Vaudt says the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System has a long-term shortfall of nearly $6 billion – and that $800 million also could be used to shore up the pension fund.
