(Ballotpedia plain-language summary of official ballot measure) Supporters say: Supporters, including Americans for Tax Reform, argue: “This amendment helps ensure those reforms are protected for the long term. By requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to increase income tax rates, the amendment would create an additional constitutional safeguard against future tax hikes.” Opponents say: Opponents, including Common Good Iowa, argue: “[The measure] would lock in regressive revenue raising and force budget cuts. The bill would visit its biggest harms on lower-income Iowans, who saw little benefit from recent tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.” Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source).
