Budget bill in Iowa Senate debate over costs and taxes
The plan faces a first year cost of 54.8 million with 24 million for agricultural land credits and 30.8 million for homestead and elderly credits. Second and third year costs are estimated 44.6 to 68.6 million. House speaker Cochran demands senate votes before predicting progress. Gov. Ray avoids comment amid ongoing revisions. The bill’s history shows multiple amendments and a March compromise, with debate focused on rural versus urban differences and a proposed 1976-77 city and county budget cap, property tax credits, agricultural land credits, and a governor-appointed task force for long-range tax changes due by Jan. 10, 1977.
