Despite not having the actual legislation finalized, Governor Kim Reynolds and Legislative Republicans announced their plan to give away hundreds of millions of state revenue dollars, a move that virtually guarantees the Reynolds Budget Crisis will get worse. Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price released the following statement in response:
“It’s no surprise that, in the middle of a budget crisis of their own making, Kim Reynolds and her Republican allies would still find the money to give their special interest and corporate donors a tax giveaway. Iowa deserves leaders who will invest in our communities and give us the tools, like education and health care, to grow our economy, not sinking all our tax dollars in to these budget-busting free-for-alls for Reynolds’ campaign donors.”
