House OKs public financing of campaigns
The Iowa House approved a bill creating voluntary public campaign funding with matching grants for all statewide and legislative offices. The plan would cost up to 3 million over four years, taking effect in 1988, and would require spending and PAC contribution limits in exchange for state grants. Critics warned of loopholes and district-size inequities, while supporters argued the move curbs PAC influence and promotes a cleaner system.

Iowa House Debates Flat Tax Alternative to Dem Plan

A proposed 3.5 percent flat tax failed 32 to 64, with supporters arguing reduced rates and fewer brackets would benefit middle and lower earners while eliminating deductions for federal taxes.
