“As we face declining state revenues, it’s troubling to hear that Governor Reynolds and statehouse Republicans are concocting yet another round of multi-million dollar, multi-year tax giveaways for special interests and wealthy Iowans.” Senate Appropriations Ranking Member Janet Petersen, D-Des Moines, said.
“Iowans deserve a better deal in the upcoming session with more sunshine and accountability on our state budget,” Petersen said. “That starts by bringing back public budget hearings, creating more opportunities for our middle class to get ahead, and fewer giveaways of public dollars to private interests.”
