I asked the next Governor of Iowa how we keep young people from leaving the Midwest.
His answer was incredible:
Zach Lahn: “Here’s what I look at—how are we using the government of Iowa to promote the wellbeing of the people of Iowa and put programs in place so they stay here?
-Give high school graduates an income tax abatement for with money going into an account to help with the down payment on your first home.
-Put programs in place to prevent hospitals from closing and keep the doctors that are getting trained at University of Iowa, Drake and DMU in state.
-Give tax incentives to Iowa’s homegrown businesses instead of global companies.
-Start treating family farms as entrepreneurial activities.
-Allow family farms to serve public schools.
We should be rewarding the people, not massive companies.
Spot on, @ZachLahn
