Iowa Surplus Reaches 80 Million Says Gov Hughes
Des Moines AP Gov Harold Hughes announced the state general fund unencumbered balance will be about 80 million dollars at the end of the current biennium on June 30. He rejected calls for a tax refund or a special session this year and cited economic growth as the reason for the large surplus. Critics Murray and Beck urged refunds or relief for property taxes. Hughes said refunds would be costly and that keeping funds in the treasury may yield greater future benefits. He projected no overall tax increase next biennium but plans a 1967 tax revision to distribute the load more fairly.
