Des Moines, IA – Governor Reynolds’ budget-busting revenue giveaways have caused massive cuts to critical services, and, now, evidence is mounting that these handouts haven’t even made an impact on Iowa’s economy or protected Iowa jobs. In fact, many major companies that employ Iowans – all of whom have presumably benefitted from the Reynolds-supported 2013 giveaways - have announced devastating layoffs in just the past couple of months.
“Governor Reynolds has told Iowa families to sacrifice over and over because we don’t have enough money to cover critical services like education and health care while her special interest buddies make off with our hard earned tax dollars. We were promised that these tax giveaways would bring jobs to our state, but the results are in and one thing is crystal clear: these handouts did not work,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price.
