Lawmakers poised to approve recycling tax breaks
Iowa lawmakers move toward tax exemptions for pollution control equipment used in recycling plastics paper and board. The Senate committee has cleared the measure and the House committee is set to consider it with Cedar Rapids as a focal point due to Weyco/Weyerhaeuser interest in a Cedar Rapids recycling facility. Support and opposition hinge on Branstad’s broader machinery tax relief.
