Iowa Taxpayers Association Proposes 1965 Government Updates
The Iowa Taxpayers Association urged updating local government including county consolidations and city county function mergers as a 1965 goal. It called for forms of county government chosen to fit needs, and favored avoiding tax increases while supporting possible sales tax increases but opposing tapping income taxes. The group warned against a universal education fund, supported aid to distressed districts on sound plans, and stressed targeted aid over broad equalization. The association adopted resolutions and elected officers at its Friday meeting, with Murray B. Nelson advancing to president.
