Iowa Legislature Moves On Bond Rates and Housing Plans
Iowa lawmakers this week advanced a 3 percent increase in interest on tax exempt government bonds and a bill to raise car loan rates to 18 percent. The House backed an Iowa Family Enterprise Development Act to fund up to 200 million in bonds for beginning farmers or small businesses, plus a housing finance expansion adding 250 million to aid low interest loans and solar development. A soil conservation measure and a peak load management proposal also passed, while debates over franchise taxes and parimutuel betting continued. Several contested primaries and candidate filings across Eastern Iowa highlighted the near end of the session.
