That means nonbudget bills that did not pass a committee in eithethe house or senate are now dead. One bill that made it would aims to keep funding steady for the road use tax fund. Right now one cent of iowas gas tax is earmarked to go into a fund for cleaning up underground troleum storage tanknk like the ones below gas station pumps. But that cent goes away on july first. The bill in the house would prevent 17 Million Dollars a year from going into the underground storage tank fund, keeping that money instead for transportation projects.

We have 76 percent of the School Districts in n owa raising property taxes, which is a regressive tax, and one that the legislature is forcing them to rely on, so these are the options lets keep in mind that the house has already approved 140 Million Dollars of increased revenue going to the schools.
