NO PROPERTY RELIEF AS IOWA TAXPAYER GROUP CRITICIZES LAW
Des Moines Iowa Taxpayers Association official Raymond Edwards says property taxpayers will not receive the full 40 percent of the state income tax collected as rebates this year, due to the comptroller office using 20 percent for school aid calculations. The dispute centers on how 40 percent rebates are allocated to counties and the impact on local property tax rates for 1967-68, with schools set to receive the full 40 percent in calendar year 1968.
