Compromise Tax Bill Aimed to Meet Rural Views in House
Des Moines reports a compromise tax bill supported by Gov Harold Hughes and rural legislators faced House debate. The measure, crafted by Rep Elmar Vermeer and backed by farm, school, and business groups, seeks to equalize property valuations, with changes to income tax withholding, use tax allocations, and school aid funding.
