(Cedar Rapids, IA) Today, during a speech to the Cedar Rapids Rotary, Mayor of Cedar Rapids and Engage Iowa President, Ron Corbett, addressed two issues facing our state - the overall economic well-being of our state and the health of Iowa's rivers, streams and lakes.
In conjunction with the address, Engage Iowa released its first research policy paper. The policy paper addresses the following:
Details the challenges Iowa faces because of our outdated income tax structure.
Outlines four potential income tax solutions that can dramatically make Iowa more competitive.
Addresses the need for a conservative alternative to help provide resources to see Secretary Northey's nutrient reduction plans implemented.
Corbett said, "Today, we have offered research-based, fact-based, pragmatic and conservative solutions to get Iowans talking about some big ideas. We look forward to engaging all Iowans on these issues so we can have a real, meaningful discussion."
