Iowa House Rejects Sales Tax on Services
The Iowa House rejected a proposed sales tax on services at 2 or 3 percent, voting 57 to 42 against adding service taxes to the existing 2 percent merchandise tax. A motion to reconsider was filed to keep a narrower option alive. The omnibus package faces further tests as amendments and substitute plans loom, with school aid funding and local control penalties potential keys to final passage.

Lawmakers Take Weekend Recess Behind Easter Break
Des Moines lawmakers end a 13 week session and adjourn for Good Friday as both the House and Senate close their offices. The week saw Senate passage of a liquor by the drink bill by a narrow 2 percent margin and approval of a $1.68 million state funds aid to a $2.32 million Kerr Mills backed medical care pilot. The House deferred the idle funds debate while preparing for tax proposals, including a sales tax rise to 3 percent and hotel service levy expansion. Harold Hi not fully satisfied with the liquor bill calls it a step forward but expects a tough House fight.
