“Governor Kim Reynolds has been a dedicated tax cutter and lean budgeter since taking office in 2017. She has restrained spending growth, which has generated large surpluses and budget reserves, while allowing for major individual and business tax reforms. Iowa residents will enjoy simpler and lower income taxes and businesses will be more competitive. This, combined with her abolition of the state’s inheritance tax has earned her the #1 spot on this year’s report card.” – Office of the Governor of Iowa Kim Reynolds, October 12, 2022
