Parties clash over Iowa budget approaches in statehouse
In Des Moines, Democrats and Republicans spar over how to apply state revenue data to the biennial budget. House minority leader Don Avenson says revenues could exceed 11 percent and yield a potential $200 million balance, while majority leader Roger Halvorson defends using 11 percent for safety, noting possible higher balances if current trends continue.

Iowa Democrats propose $42 million in tax relief plan
Democrats unveil a tax relief package aimed at lowering Iowa taxes with $24.7 million saved from a higher standard deduction and $13.8 million from renters credits. They claim income tax collections have doubled and a larger share of revenue comes from income tax. Republicans counter that four years of surplus should fund capital programs, not new tax schemes, accusing Democrats of pie in the sky plans and neglecting capital needs.
