Best says there is no doubt revenues will be down a bit due to COVID restrictions, mainly from road use taxes and gambling. Those funds are typically used for infrastructure items throughout the state, and though down, they are still anticipating being able to do the items at the top of their list. When it comes to assisting Iowa businesses impacted by COVID, Best says he would like to see the legislature allocate some of the rainy day fund. Last year, area constituents were not able to interact one-on-one with our representatives. Best has been working with the Carroll Chamber of Commerce and Carroll Area Development Corporation (CADC) to schedule four or five virtual legislative forums this year. Carroll Broadcasting will bring you more details on dates, times and how to access these as details become available. The full interview with Representative Best can be found below.
