In Iowa, a Physical Plant and Equipment Levy is a property tax used by most school districts to spend on infrastructure and equipment. This property tax is used by a majority of school districts amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars each year. itrfoundation.org/what-is-the-ph…
“There is no such thing as public money; there is only taxpayers’ money,” stated former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Iowa policymakers must resist delay tactics, scare campaigns, and the temptation to overspend. itrfoundation.org/iowas-path-for…
On September 9, Iowans will head to the polls for a series of important—though often overlooked—special elections. For the three school districts renewing their PPEL, the choice is straightforward: a “yes” vote keeps property taxes at their current level, while a “no” vote…
Small Cuts vs. Big Problems: The elimination of a $1 million federal grant to the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program sparked backlash, but the real fiscal threat is America’s $37 trillion national debt and ballooning deficits. itrfoundation.org/federal-spendi…

With $3.6 billion in the Taxpayer Relief Fund, Iowa has a head start on returning money to taxpayers and remaining competitive with other states that are lowering income tax rates to attract families and businesses. itrfoundation.org/iowa-can-keep-…
Iowa's DOGE taskforce is moving away from structural consolidation (like merging counties) and focusing instead on rethinking how local governments operate, as excessive government spending continues to drive rising property tax bills. itrfoundation.org/iowa-doge-reth…
The DOGE Taskforce recommends implementing merit-based pay for teachers to link compensation with student outcomes and reward excellence. “As one of our largest statewide expenditures, we are not getting acceptable returns on our educational investment.” itrfoundation.org/?p=45176&previ…
Both Iowa and Florida are advancing reforms that place taxpayer interests ahead of local government lobbying and entrenched spending practices. itrfoundation.org/floridas-doge-…
It may be hard to believe, but President Franklin D. Roosevelt once offered a blueprint for property tax reform that remains relevant for Iowa policymakers today. itrfoundation.org/fdrs-forgotten…
Federalism isn’t just about money from D.C. It’s about keeping power close to the people. The National Popular Vote compact tries to sidestep the Constitution and silence your voice. Don’t sidestep federalism. Learn more at: itrfoundation.org/federalism #Federalism…
Despite falling property tax rates, cities like Jefferson, Iowa are quietly expanding spending and government roles, creating the illusion of fiscal restraint while drifting from core responsibilities due to vague missions and unnecessary projects. itrfoundation.org/dollars-over-o…
