IOWA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

“The Iowa House is unlikely to go along with incoming Gov. Chet Culver’s proposal for a dollar increase in the cigarette tax, incoming House Speaker Pat Murphy said Friday. “I don’t think we’ll go that high,” said Murphy…Instead, he looks for a tax increase in the range of 40 cents to 60 cents a pack.” (Des Moines Register, 1-6-07) ................
