Iowa tax plan leans toward returning funds to people
Des Moines attorney and state attorney general candidate Joseph Bertroche outlined a plan to reissue Iowa 1965 state income tax refunds and end a Democratic windfall. He said the proposal would return money without cost to taxpayers or the state, possibly adding 200,000 more dollars to the treasury. If Hughes blocks it, the GOP argues voters will see the Democrats as failing to return hard-earned tax dollars.
