Iowa revenue projections show a $79.5 million higher current-year surplus and an $85 million rise for 2006, complicating plans to raise the tobacco tax. Senate leaders warn the cigarette tax debate may still go either way, with leaders noting any increase would likely stay below 80 cents per pack.

Iowa House approves Newton Speedway tax rebate measure
The Iowa House approved a tax incentive for the Newton Speedway project along Interstate 80. The plan rebates the first 12.5 million dollars in sales taxes from the track. Rep. Danny Carroll said the project could create a new tourism draw, with many attendees from outside the state, aiding Newton's development after Maytag plant job losses. The vote was 80 to 18, sending the bill to the Senate.
