Senator Stanley Speaks to Farm Women on Taxes

State Senator David Stanley of the Cedar Muscatine district told a Muscatine County Farm Bureau women this afternoon that a large part of school costs should shift from property tax to the sales tax. He cited a 1964 Cedar and Muscatine county poll showing 86 percent favored sales tax to raise funds for local schools, 11 percent favored income tax, and 3 percent favored local property tax. He urged continuing to raise the state income tax, arguing that combined income taxes are too high and harm hard working Iowans and growth.
