The West Des Moines Community School District wants to cut property taxes for next year. The district says the proposal for a modest 15-cent cut would help make up for last year's tax hike. West Des Moines teachers wonder why the district wants to cut taxes when they're already relying on one time federal money to avoid a budget gap this year. The district admitted they could be forced to cut staff next year if Governor Branstad and the state legislature deny schools funding for allowable growth for the second straight year. However, chief financial officer Kurt Subra tells KCCI the timing is right for a tax cut.
