John Kyl, GOP candidate for Ingress, advocates disinterested public accountants study which taxes the federal government can collect most economically and which are better handled by states. He cites a defeated bill to transfer authority over telephone taxes to states, arguing local control would reduce bureaucratic drain and fund state education, with Iowa noted as facing rising property taxes.
