Kim Reynolds talked taxes and unemployment in Pleasant Hill
DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds put a bullseye on cutting taxes during the recent legislative session. On June 5 in Pleasant Hill, she signed off on a law helping business owners. Reynolds autographed the measure while visiting a metal building manufacturer in the Des Moines suburb. The change will reduce the amount of money businesses pay in unemployment insurance taxes.

Iowa ranks 32nd in population. 'Senate File 607 will cut the taxable wage base by half. It lowers the maximum tax rate to 5.4%, which was 9% before this. And it streamlines the system while saving businesses, as you heard, nearly a billion dollars over 5 years,' said Reynolds. Reynolds has until June 14, a little more than a week, to sign or veto bills approved during the session. She is yet to make a decision on new restrictions for carbon pipeline developers.
