Iowa Aides Say Branstad May Call Second Tax Session
Branstad aides say the projection raises chance of a second special session to agree on tax code changes. Revenue panel projects $15.9 million extra, plus $9 million from federal reforms, potentially lowering top rate from 13 percent to about 9.6–9.8 percent. Governor's plan aims to raise $869 million overall with a 2.6 percent average tax increase. House leaders will decide whether to summon rank and file Democrats for a vote.
