Democrats flex strength on personal property tax vote
Iowa House on Monday showed the Democratic majority can muster enough votes to advance a bill, defeating Republican opposition while signaling internal party debates over Gov. Ray's leadership. Myron Oxley voted against the final passage but supported weakening amendments, and 52 Democrats backed the measure with 40 Republicans opposing. The bill aims to raise about 20 million over two years by delaying the phase-out of the personal property tax.
