State Tax Commission bill advances in legislature
Des Moines April 5 The lower house moved ahead with the Benson Rigby bill creating the State Board of Assessment and Review to take over taxation duties from the budget director and vest powers with a governor appointed commission. The measure, opposed by business interests, would derail the proposed general sales tax and differs from the Ways and Means plan mainly on the budget department’s fate.

Tax commission bill advances amid tax reform debate
The Ways and Means bill proposes a three-member tax commission with members paid 4500 dollars annually for six-year terms. A broader tax survey aims to reduce millage reliance, while efforts to shift assessor duties to county bodies failed. The main Benson-Rigby measure passed 41 to 6, with several votes against and others abstaining. Sponsors plan swift passage to enable governor appointment and Senate confirmation.
