Taxpayers' rights amendment targets Iowa government revenue
Two former Iowa lawmakers unveiled a proposed constitutional amendment to cap state and local government revenue at nine tenths of growth in personal income. The plan, led by Iowans for Tax Relief, aims to place the measure before voters by 1982, with revenue growth allowed after 20 years by legislative action or public referendums. The proposal seeks to slow tax growth without mandatory cuts, aligning with Farm Bureau support and a broader move to curb government spending.
