House passes flood relief bill

News

May 10th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — The U-S House passed a bill that would provide billion of dollars for rebuilding and recovery for Americans impacted by natural disasters. Iowa Congresswoman, Cindy Axne, A Democrat from West Des Moines, spoke on the House floor. “Entire towns were under water, homes were destroyed, family farms were devastated, and small businesses are facing irreparable damage. Many local schools may be forced to permanently close their doors,” Axne says.

She says many Iowans have been impacted by the flooding. “I’ve been down to the flood zones multiple times to speak with farmers, homeowners and business owners who have lost everything,” Axne says. “Their resilience is inspiring — but the damage is heartbreaking.” Axne says it is important to get the aid to those in need.

“Experts believe that it could take years to repair all the damage — Iowans don’t have that time to wait. The National Weather Service shows Iowa will remain vulnerable to flooding all summer, and rivers are expected to stay high,”according to Axne. Democrats who control the House are pushing this bill forward. There were several attempts to add amendments to the bill during the debate.

The legislation includes three billion dollars to address recent flooding in the Midwest and other disasters, plus six-hundred million in nutrition assistance to Puerto Rico. Negotiations continue among Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate on a disaster aid package.

State tax gain through past 10 months? $351 million

News

May 10th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — As of last Friday, May 3rd, state tax collections were running 350-MILLION dollars ahead of the previous year. That’s a more than six percent increase in tax payments to the state over the past 10 months. It’s ALSO one-and-a-half percent ABOVE the prediction a panel of experts made in March. Jeff Robinson of the Legislative Services Agency says his analysis intentionally included the first few days in May.

“Twenty-five to 30 percent of the month’s gross revenue deposits occur over the first three processing days of May,” Robinson says. That’s mostly because April 30th is the deadline for quarterly income tax withholding payments to the state, as well as quarterly payments of sales taxes. April 30th is also the final day for submitting individual income tax returns to the state. Based on last year’s data, Robinson expects most income tax REFUNDS to be paid out by the end of May.

“This is a significant unknown when evaluating how solid the 6.2% revenue growth really is,” Robinson says. There are two other major factors at work in the final seven weeks of the state fiscal year. The state income tax CUTS the Republican lawmakers approved in 2018 didn’t go into effect until January of THIS YEAR, so there’s likely a reduction in state income tax withholding payments. At the same time, it appears there’s been an uptick in SALES tax payments to the state. That’s because G-O-P lawmakers voted to apply the sales tax to more online transactions, like Netflix subscriptions and Uber rides.
