Legislators weigh bonds for roads and state anticipatory warrants while seeking funds for two fiscal years. A big question centers on raising revenue without higher property taxes, with talks of a state income tax and a volatile sales tax proposal amid a flurry of tax bills and sifting committee moves.
Hundreds of business representatives protested Iowa sales tax proposals arguing income tax is fairer.

Bergman road bills clash over a one cent gas tax, with a conference committee deciding if it passes. Senate also backed a banking bill raising capital to 25 000 and imposing stricter shareholder reporting.

Expenses for members were raised to 500 dollars each if claimed, totaling about 80 thousand. A Senate resolution proposes 500 for a Spirit Lake state park land purchase study.
