(DES MOINES) -- Today, Rep. Gary Mohr (R-Bettendorf), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement regarding the Revenue Estimating Conference's October projections:

"The Revenue Estimating Conferences's projections announced today reinforce the strength of Iowa's economy. Even amidst a global pandemic, Iowa's economy continues to grow and remains in a strong financial position moving forward. Iowa House Republicans' responsible budgeting practices clearly work and keeping our businesses open has put us in a far better position than many other states. 

As we head into the 2022 Legislative Session, Iowa House Republicans will continue to work with the Senate and Governor's office to continue the budgeting policies Iowans have come to expect from us; implementing a balanced budget, properly funding our priorities, and allowing Iowans to keep more of their hard-earned money."
