• Iowa’s
Property taxes
are the
15th highest in the nation. Van Patten will
sponsor legislation that replaces the levy limits and value
adjustments that result in higher and higher property taxes
with a system that is equitable, transparent, and simple to
understand.
•
Iowa Seniors
deserve a
secure retirement free from excessive taxes and rising drug
costs. As your Senator, Van Patten will support legislation
that helps seniors gain access to prescription drugs at
discounted prices and fully eliminate the tax on social
security and pensions.
•
CIETC Never Again. We all agree that CIETC was a
travesty. People with oversight didn’t do their job. It
can never happen again. When elected, Van Patten will
support legislation that makes it a criminal offense to
misuse public funds.
 •
65% Proposal for Schools.
Nick will
fight to enact legislation that requires education
administrators allocate an additional 5.5 cents or more of
each dollar directly to our classrooms, instead of the
bureaucracy…an additional $199,796,300 for our students and
teachers—without a tax increase! Iowa should rank in the
top 10% for direct classroom spending, not in the bottom 1/3rd
(Iowa is 38th nationally).
“I am walking
district 31 to meet as many of the residents as possible. I
want to hear from you about your neighborhood concerns.
I don’t plan on missing many houses, but if you
feel that I have, please contact me.”
Vote Nick
Van Patten November 7th!
Just
in the Nick of Time
