Iowa State University economist Neil Hart argues tax cut plans from Gov. Branstad and lawmakers would harm state revenue and fail to attract firms. He says quality of services, schools, and overall living conditions drive location decisions more than tax rates. He cautions that reform must raise revenue fairly to support a business-friendly climate.
