HF 2066 Takes Away Your Right to Vote, Raises Taxes on Iowa's Biggest Employers, and Gives State Politicians the Power to Steal These Funds from Local Schools.
This week the House Ways and Means Committee voted in favor of House File 2066, a bill that would replace the current local option tax for school infrastructure (SILO) with an additional penny of statewide sales and use tax (each additional penny of sales and use tax raises about $400 million).
