Iowa Could Earn Millions By Investing Inactive State Funds
Iowa faces lost interest from $14 million in inactive state funds across 642 banks as of June 30 1956. A taxation study committee urges mandatory investment of inactive funds in short term U.S. securities or Iowa bank CDs, plus monthly remittance of vehicle fees from counties. If averaged $25 million annually, returns could reach $125 000 to $700 000 depending on rates.
