Rob Sand’s plan for fixing Iowa’s budget deficit


Iowa Governor-elect Rob Sand appeared on Iowa Press following his victory in last week’s elections to discuss his priorities for cutting Iowa’s budget deficit.

His plan includes:

-Set income limits on the voucher program, while increasing school funding 5%

-Regulate and tax cannabis

-Ensure data center developers are paying full taxes

Sand also discussed funding IWILL, a trust fund for Iowa natural resources and water quality that’s been sitting empty since voters approved it in 2010.
