Iowa approves complex school financing plan and tax freeze
Iowa lawmakers pass a sprawling school financing bill built around a property tax freeze for 1971-72, state guarantees to cover gaps to 644 per pupil, then 30 percent local cost, with income tax shifts, expanded state aid, and exemptions for seniors.
