Iowa committee weighs package tax relief plan
The Iowa Legislative Tax Study Committee discussed a potential package bill to fund local property tax relief by raising and reallocating state taxes. They debated including a sales tax increase and possibly abolishing personal property and moneys and credits taxes, with about 40 million needed for education to ease property taxes. The panel also favored joining Kerr Mills medical aid for seniors, estimating about 4 million annually, while aiming to trim state operations costs and limit Board of Public Instruction powers.
