Tax cut talks tighten as Iowa lawmakers near deadline
Iowa lawmakers push toward a hybrid tax-cut plan between 60 and 100 million dollars while fighting over spending growth and infrastructure. Competing proposals from House and Senate would shift property tax relief and adjust inheritance tax amid an election year. The stalemate centers on child care funding welfare reforms and the pace of adjournment around April 12 to 16.

Branstad set to back crackdown on chronic hog lot violators
Governor Branstad is likely to approve Senate File 2375 to end nuisance-protection for confinement feeding operations with three or more environmental violations. The Senate also sent bills allowing county control over siting large livestock operations and requiring公开 contract prices from meatpackers and hog-buying stations, though the House did not act.

State income holding above growth rate
DES MOINES Revenues continue to outstrip expectations holding 2 percent above the growth pace through nine months of fiscal 1995. General fund tax collections rose 6.9 percent through March buoyed by a 90.4 million jump in personal income tax receipts. Total receipts exceed 3.173 billion in fiscal 1996, up 204.5 million from last year and above the 4.9 percent growth estimate. Personal income tax receipts in March rose 12.3 percent year over year with 12 percent more returns processed largely due to electronic filing.
