Iowans for Tax Relief asks the Iowa Legislature and Gov. Ray to index income inheritance and property taxes to protect taxpayers from inflation. The board states prompt action is needed to shield elderly and disabled residents from rising tax burdens.
Jane A. Miller explains indexing would raise tax brackets exemptions credits and standard deductions by the prior year’s inflation rate. The group says automatic annual increases starting 1979 are needed to protect fixed incomes of elderly and disabled Iowans and curb state revenue gains from inflation.
Iowa Commerce Commission Chairman Maurice Van Nostrand urged legislators not to overhaul the state's utility system saying it remains the only energy source capable of meeting rising demand. He noted some residents overreact to high bills this winter, with many households paying around 30 dollars monthly for electricity and natural gas.
Bonnie Lynn Herrick, 20, of Oskaloosa died in a two car crash on Iowa 146 east of Searsboro in Poweshiek County. Her eastbound vehicle skidded on ice and struck a westbound car driven by Roger Noel, 34, of Grinnell.
