“Let There Be Light:”
Tax Group Releases Report on Legislature/Governor Budgets
A new article in the Des Moines Register by David Yepsen draws attention to a recent release from the Iowa Tax Association. In the article, Yepsen writes:
“When Culver took office, he promised to make responsible budgeting a hallmark of his administration. The association's report makes it clear that he and his fellow Democrats are falling short of that goal.
That has real-world consequences, too. Without sound finances, the state can't consistently address the needs of Iowans for things such as schools, health care or emergencies.
Politically, the state budget makes it awfully hard for Iowa Democrats to complain about how George W. Bush has run the federal budget into the ditch. The accounting games in Des Moines look more like Washington's all the time.”
