Iowa House Considers Special Millage Tax for Projects
Des Moines reports that Chairman Larrabee of the house appropriations committee warned that a special millage tax will be needed to fund capital projects before the legislature. He said current funds cover regular state expenses but not extensions and improvements including ground extension and an epileptic colony. A millage levy is suggested to avoid raising the general state levy. A substitute revenue bill by Rep. Stipe and Rep. Eggleston proposes replacing a 5-mill tax on money with valuation-based revenue to fund the plan.
