New Taxpayer Protections

Chris, John and John are back to discuss two new bills running through legislature that could provide meaningful new protections for Iowa taxpayers. SSB1207 and HSB232 are identical bills that each contain two new proposed Iowa constitutional amendments. The first proposal is a requirement for a 2/3rds vote of the legislature for any new income tax increase. The second proposal would constitutionally protect the Taxpayer Relief Fund to make sure it could only be used to cut taxes. These both seem like good ideas, but John has a few lingering questions that should be considered. In part 2 of this episode, Chris has an in-studio interview with Daniel Dew of Pacific Legal Foundation who was in Iowa this week to help advance a bill that brings fairness to individual Iowans when they challenge the administrative branch's rule-making.
