| In May 2003, The Des Moines Register editorial board noted IPP's contribution to broadening the tax and economic policy debate in Iowa: |
"One of the few Iowa groups with the courage to challenge the pervasive tax-cut myth is the Iowa Policy Project, a think tank based in Mount Vernon. It issued a report last week based on a survey of the economic literature on the effect of state tax policies on economic growth. Among the conclusions: Cuts in the individual income tax can actually discourage economic growth if they cause a deterioration of public services." |
