Iowa Legislature Ends Tax Fight With Governor Victory
The 1971 session left Iowans facing higher cigarette and beer taxes and a rise in income and corporate levies while property taxes freeze for a year. Gov. Ray brokered a compromise after House and Senate deadlock, with a foundation for school funding in 1972 and a shift of education costs to the income tax. The political scene split Republicans and Democrats as rural Republicans aligned with Democrats on key tax measures. The plan reshaped districts, including John KyI’s race into Neal Smith’s central Iowa seat.
