Iowa Senate Likely to Kill Income Tax Measure
Iowa's Senate appears poised to defeat the proposed state income tax bill as opposition from a constitutional majority grows. The House passage is not assured, with many members returning to consult constituents and gauge support. Calls for a broader tax revision persist, aiming to update tax laws after decades. Governor Hammill has urged comprehensive reform and signaled possible renewed focus on the state code, road problem, and tax structure. Road legislation dominates remaining weeks, with several gasoline tax proposals under review and plans to align with federal aid requirements. Banking reform grows, with only one measure already enacted allowing reorganizing closed banks without full creditor consent. The Senate remains closely divided, making this session a battleground where a single defection could shift outcomes.
