Iowa House approves tax cut plan to half rate this year
DES MOINES AP The Iowa House passed 93 to 14 a bill to keep the half rate income tax for this year and revert to full rate next year and thereafter. The House rejected 75 to 30 an administration measure for permanent half-rate collections unless the general fund balance fell below 15 million dollars. Governor Blue declined to comment on signing the bill. If vetoed, the bill would need 72 votes in the House and 34 in the Senate to override.
