ITR Legislative Issue Guide

Iowans have endured a unique year. New rules and regulations have impacted our daily lives, and uncertainty has affected our finances.

Iowa has been fortunate. Conservative leadership before the pandemic allowed our state to weather the storm as well as any in the nation. Lawmakers were able to close the last fiscal year without dipping into reserve funds and passed a status quo budget for the current year.

In November, voters gave the legislature a mandate to continue getting government out of our lives and livelihoods. In other words, Iowans deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money and have the freedom to make decisions without unnecessary regulations.

Heading into the 2021 legislative session, policymakers have the opportunity to speed up scheduled tax cuts, make it easier to enter new careers, guarantee support is given to those who are genuinely in need, and increase the fiscal accountability of local governments.

Iowans deserve every opportunity to grow and prosper. When citizens make their voices heard, it’s harder for bureaucrats to get away with increasing spending and creating economic burdens.

ITR will remain the voice of the taxpayer and will not relent in fighting for a better Iowa. If you have any questions about any of the information presented in this guide, please email itr@taxrelief.org.
