Iowa House approves tax on military income
A 54 to 42 vote in Des Moines sent a bill taxing Iowa residents in active military service to fund a 1.3 billion dollar state budget. The measure retroactively taxes military pay and would permit the revenue director to work with the federal government to withhold taxes from servicemen. Opponents argued it is unpatriotic and unfair to those serving, while supporters framed it as equity for all Iowans.
