Hughes Will Seek Tax Increases to Ease Iowa Burden
Des Moines—Governor Harold Hughes said his budget message to the Iowa Legislature will call for tax increases aimed at reducing the property tax burden. He declined details until the message, likely in about two weeks, is delivered. Hughes supports certain taxes as necessary and would not veto a sales tax boost if it lowers property taxes. He backs withholding the state income tax and notes a $20 million minimum general fund surplus to operate government. He cited a projected $21 million year end surplus and commented on liquor tax proposals, favoring those with strong enforcement. He agrees with State Tax Commission Chairman X.T. Prentis that replacing revenues is needed before cutting taxes.
