Ray says no special session needed on Iowa valuation orders
Gov. Robert D. Ray indicated no special legislative session is required to address the department of revenue equalization orders. He expects lawmakers can act in January with proper facts, while adjustments to the school funding foundation formula may be needed to avoid local tax burdens. Ray supported the valuation orders but said local assessors should have done their jobs and that higher values do not automatically raise property taxes.

President Lifts 60-Cent Tariff On Refined Oil
Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb announced the removal of the 60-cent-a-barrel fee on refined petroleum products. The move could lower imports by about 1.5 cents per gallon, mainly affecting New England and Middle Atlantic markets, with potential further price changes if the $2-per-barrel crude fee is also dropped. The administration cautioned the policy could be temporary and subject to reimposition.
