Iowa Legislator Attacks Capitol Bill Over County Delinquencies
A Iowa lawmaker rails against funding a new State Capitol, arguing counties show delinquent tax totals far exceeding last year’s state tax. He cites Adair, Adams, Boone, Clayton, Dubuque, Lee, Polk, Mahaska, Webster, and others with large debts, warns of a $647000 shortfall, and urges delaying the appropriation to save money while prioritizing schools and asylums.
