Gov-elect Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov-elect Kim Reynolds flew to Sioux City and Council Bluffs yesterday to ask Iowans' opinions on how to meet state goals. Branstad’s goals are to create 200,000 new jobs over the next five years, raise family incomes by 25 percent, reduce the size and cost of government by 15 percent, and restore Iowa’s educational system to its best-in-the-nation status. Some ideas? Raise the gas tax, waive taxes on spec houses--that is, don't charge contractors property taxes until they're occupied, and work on corporate property tax relief.
