Governor Culver Statement On Pumpkin Tax
DES MOINES Below is a statement from Governor Chet Culver on the decision by the Iowa Department of Revenue to impose a tax on pumpkins:
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR CHET CULVER:
It has come to my attention that a policy change made in December of 2006 before I took office is resulting in this ridiculous pumpkin tax. I have directed the Department of Revenue to do the common sense thing and suspend collection of this tax and offer refunds to consumers or retailers who have been affected.
