Colflesh Outlines Tax Plan to Cap Property Tax
Robert W. Colflesh, Republican candidate for Iowa governor, urged a constitutional amendment to cap property tax at one percent of assessed value and shift the rest of the burden to other taxes. He attacked gross income tax proposals as unfair, arguing they would shift costs to wage earners and farmers while sparing big business. He spoke before the Muscatine Kiwanis Club and pressed home the need to protect home ownership and limit tax rates.
