Corbett pitches Iowa tax shift at Davenport think tank unveiling
Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, head of Engage Iowa, urged Iowa to adopt broader tax reform in Davenport. The group proposes flat tax options from 2.86 to 3.27 percent, eliminates credits, and raises sales tax to fund lower income taxes while pledging to improve water quality and funding for outdoor resources. Critics argue it shifts the burden to lower earners.
