Should Iowa boost taxes on liquor
Iowa lawmakers consider a tax hike to raise beer and wine prices while funding alcohol treatment. The plan would add 2.5 cents per six pack and 2 percent on a bottle,^10 cents in a $5 bottle. Revenue would replace property taxes now paying treatment costs and fund local programs. Supporters liken the taxes to user fees, citing a small group of heavy drinkers who drive most costs. Critics say property tax payers should not bear treatment expenses.
