Legislature in Review Recap of 1971 73 revenue and tax changes
Iowa lawmakers balanced the 1971 73 budget with cigarette and liquor tax hikes and accelerated sales tax intake. A proposed income tax rise supported by Gov Ray passed amid tax reform debates. The session crafted a foundation aid plan for schools, expanded tax relief, and approved changes in voting, districts, liquor control, conservancy districts, highway funds, and billboards while failing to liberalize abortion laws. The Messerly Camp budget runs about 18 million below the governor’s proposed level.
