Safe-Sane-Steady

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris and John take a look at ITR's recent work to spread the good news of Iowa's success on tax policy in the state of Iowa. John has had multiple articles picked up in both Iowa and national media:

"Iowa Accelerates Transition to a Low Flat Tax" - National Review

"Kim Reynolds Keeps Iowa 'Safe-Sane-Steady.' That's Why She Keeps Winning." - Des Moines Register

We also take a look at recent news articles lamenting the increased dis-enrollments numbers in Iowa's medicaid program. We take a look at the philosophical divide over health care policy, and what might work best for Iowa taxpayers.

The City of Des Moines recently hired an outside consulting firm to take a look at ways to reform DART, the metro area's bis service. Here at ITR Live were are always interested in finding ways to deliver government services more efficiently and effectively, as opposed to simply throwing money are service models that clearly aren't working.
