Short numbers stand as GOP defers Iowa tax vote
Iowa House moves to defer a property tax credit bill for industrial improvements citing insufficient votes. The bill would grant five year tax exemptions, with rural areas trimmed from the plan amid GOP-Democrat unity against rural incentives. Amendments target Rath Packing and require local study before exemptions. The measure may return for final action next week.
