Income Tax Bill Sparks Iowa Legislature Debates
The Iowa General Assembly considers a state income tax driven by Gov. Hamill's inaugural plan. Rep. Paterson and Rep. Johnson of Dickinson propose rates starting at 1,000 dollars, rising to 5,000, with brackets yielding 10 to 150 dollars. proponents frame it as a replacement tax to cut property levies. Opposition notes potential impact on corporations and totals, while other measures target county supervisor elections and sheriff turnover. Legislators visit Ames to tour Iowa State College, and a Texas memorial to abolish federal aid is discussed.
