ITR is the voice of the taxpayer at the Capitol when spending decisions are made with your tax dollars. These spending decisions are not just in appropriations for programs and services, but also in offering generous tax credits and exemptions to specific interests. ITR Live takes a fresh look at some of the lucrative tax credits offered to Iowa businesses. Are these credits really necessary? Do these credits help the average Iowa taxpayer?
ITR Live also revisits the scare tactics used by local governments any time that are faced with the prospect of having to make do with fewer of your property tax dollars than they want to confiscate. Iowa property tax payers have begun to see through the false claims of cuts to police and fire services.
