This weekend, the big news was about a certain Senator using a racial slur. It was the big buzz Monday at the Capitol. And all we'll say on the matter is if this was a Republican they would've been burned at the stake. Unfortunatley, this detracted from the real issues facing Iowans: raising taxes and the state budget.
We can already tell you that the state budget will not be seen for at least a few more days. Democrats have posted their number but there is still too much to iron out.
Raising taxes will take center stage tomorrow as the House holds public hearings at 7:30 p.m. on federal deductibility and it's possible elimination. The bill is starting in the House. If nothing else sticks with you today remember this: elemination of federal deductibility results in a tax on a tax.
Hopefully there will be a great turnout and strong opposition to the issue will send a clear message to the House.
