Replying to @CSInstituteIA
@CSInstituteIA has it right: “Iowa is not standing on a fiscal cliff. It is drawing down reserves intentionally accumulated during years of budget surpluses while allowing taxpayers to keep more of what they earned.”

ICYMI, @CSInstituteIA: "As long as you control the rate of growth and spending in your economy is growing, your revenue will eventually overtake your spending again, which is why we don't see right now an imminent threat of a fiscal problem here in Iowa. "But if you're concerned about it, you can cut spending." kcrg.com/2026/07/09/study-io…
