Iowa Farm Bureau links income tax to school funding
Allan B. Kline, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, says the state income tax and Iowa School Code revision will be the major issues in the upcoming legislature. He notes the school bill would shift about 12 million dollars from the general fund to a new school fund to ease property tax burdens and improve rural schools. He cites 1948 Farm Bureau resolutions advocating ability to pay as a fair basis for funding public education and criticizes reliance on property taxes.
