Mixed Reaction To Tax Cut By Iowa Republicans
Iowa's Rep. Jim Leach and Rep. Charles Grassley voiced mixed reactions to the House passage of a 16.5 billion tax cut. Leach welcomed the capital gains relief but criticized the small personal income tax cut and the absence of deeper reform. Grassley praised relief for taxpayers and farmers, urged longer term cuts, and supported indexing capital gains and income taxes to inflation.
