(Des Moines, IA) — With one-billion dollars now in the bank, Iowa’s Republican lawmakers say the money in the “Taxpayer Relief Fund” should be returned to taxpayers. That fund held just 74 million dollars two years ago. Republican House Speaker Pat Grassley says a state budget was passed that provided record funding for broadband, with more money to schools and public safety – all while setting aside that one-billion dollars. Governor Kim Reynolds and Republican legislative leaders have said their long-term goal is to eliminate the state income tax.
