Senate Defeats Tobacco Tax Increase Measure in Des Moines
In Des Moines on April 9, officials report the Iowa Senate decisively rejected a bill to raise cigarette taxes by 60 percent and extend tobacco levies. The vote stood 33 to 0 with critics arguing it would hurt local dealers and fuel mail order sales. The chamber also defeated a tax on out-of-state corporate stocks. The House meanwhile examined claims and amended a public deposits bill to limit interest payments by banks during specific months, aiming to ease state sinking fund charges.
