Attention All Iowa Voters: See Why Nonpartisan Experts Recommend Voting NO on Amendment One ❌🗳️
The League of Women Voters (LWV)—a 100-year-old nonpartisan civic organization that never endorses political parties or candidates—takes positions strictly through rigorous, independent research and member consensus. After studying the facts, we agree to vote NO on Constitutional Amendment One.
The Key Facts:
🛑 Requires a ⅔ Supermajority: Mandates a two-thirds majority to adjust personal or corporate income tax rates.
⚠️ Enables "Minority Rule": Just 17 state senators could block critical funding fixes for local schools, healthcare, and infrastructure.
💸 Shifts Costs to Consumers: Sales tax, gas tax, property tax, and fees can still be raised with a simple majority to cover budget gaps, hitting working families first.
📉 Iowa Faces Rising Deficits: With projected state deficits of $1.4B this year and $1.2B next year, tying lawmakers' hands risks deep cuts to vital public services.
