Beck blasts Iowa service tax as mistake in bid for governor
Centerville publisher and 1966 GOP gubernatorial candidate Robert K. Beck told the Wapello County Farmer Businessman banquet that Iowa’s new service tax would impede job development and create industrial deterrents. He criticized the tax rebate plan and said better to avoid the tax rather than rebate it. Beck urged federal and state action to restore rural America and keep people on farms by creating jobs.
