The Henry County Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, September 19th. The big talking point came with the subject of House file 718.
This file, which originated in the Iowa House of Representatives, promises big changes to counties across the state. This will cause levies to drop to $3.50 by 2029. Currently, the Henry County general basis levy is set at $4.83, requiring a sharp drop in the next six years.
Representative Taylor Collins (District 95) and Representative Jeff Shipley (District 88) will both comment on Thursday’s meeting. They will be able to explain the file in detail. The supervisors are looking for more information from the representatives, and to ensure that their voices are heard. There is the possibility that Senator Dickey will meet with the board of supervisors in the coming weeks as well.
