Iowa tax cap faces budget deficit, new governor

(The Center Square) - Voters in Iowa approved an amendment to the state constitution that would make it more difficult for the legislature to raise individual income taxes. However, the amendment could run into problems with a newly elected Democratic governor and more than a $1 billion budget deficit.

Iowa currently has a flat individual income tax rate of 3.8%. Amendment 1 passed with 56.2% of voters who selected “yes” on their ballots, according to the Associated Press. The amendment’s passage would make it more difficult to advance certain spending priorities, after Democrat Rob Sand flipped the state’s gubernatorial race, according to AP. “Iowans delivered a major structural defeat to the left last night,” said Alan Ostergen, chief counsel at the Kirkwood Institute.
