Record Iowa income tax receipts surge ahead of forecast
Through nine months of the current fiscal year Iowa income tax collections run 27 percent ahead of last year totaling 254.1 million. Gov Ray's supplemental budget assumed 16 percent growth, but inflation and higher farm income have boosted revenues and a June 30 surplus atop forecasts of 154.2 million. Some legislators fear future shifts from cattle profits, union contracts, and farm costs could tighten state revenues.
