Governor rules out special session to forgive Iowa income tax
DES MOINES UPI Gov Harold E Hughes said he will not call a special session to cancel all or part of one year's personal income taxes for Iowans. He will listen to new information but currently sees no justification for a session despite petitions with over 6 000 signatures. Republican critics accuse the administration of double taxation under the pay as you go system and a recent Prentis charge of additional 1965 tax levies on higher income earners.
