Governor Concerned About Statewide Sales Tax Proposal

February 19, 2022 Steve Schwaller

(Des Moines)– Governor Kim Reynolds says she has concerns about the Senate G-O-P’s idea to convert more than 800 local option sales taxes into one statewide tax to help fill the empty Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Fund.

Reynolds says the move imposes a one percent sales tax in three counties and four dozen cities that aren’t collecting it today. She says the state has to be careful about raising taxes right now with inflation at a 40-year high.

Reynolds says fellow Republicans in the House and Senate are about two-thirds of the way toward reaching a final agreement on a tax plan.
