Amendment 1 asks voters if they want to raise the threshold for lawmakers to pass income or corporate taxes, or create a new income tax. Supporters say it will provide stronger protections against tax hikes, while opponents think it could lead to budget cuts and higher tax burden for low-income Iowans.
