Ray assails tax-raising Iowa legislature in broadcast of discontent
Republican State Chairman Robert Ray accused the Democratic controlled legislature of burdening Iowans with new taxes at every level. He noted the budget rose from 208 to 267 million dollars and cited 19 permissive measures that could lift local property taxes, predicting roughly ten mills increase and warning against false hope of property tax relief from state aid. Ray also slammed plans for state income tax withholding and double taxation, saying a GOP would have avoided such practices. The report ties the remarks to a Milan trade mission context and broader fiscal caution.
