March 2, 2023: Des Moines Register: Senate Republicans advance bill to eventually eliminate Iowa's income tax. Here's the plan
Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, called the bill "fiscal suicide" and said it would result in cuts to state services.
"This is completely irresponsible," he said. "A flat tax, let’s translate it and call it what it really is: it’s a tax cut for the wealthy. You’re cutting the tax at the very bottom end only a tiny, tiny amount and the people at the top are making out like bandits."
