Proposal by Sen Elihon Replacement of Tax Board Is Urged
Gov. Hughes supports in principle a major Tax Commission reform but opposes some details. Sen. Elihon proposes a single tax official to run state taxes and supervise local assessments, with a governor appointed director. Hughes wants the governor to appoint a single head with Senate confirmation and a review board if a single official is chosen. The plan stems from the Iowa Legislative Tax Revision Study Commission amid broader calls for extensive reorganization of state tax bodies.
