Iowans Vote with Feet and take $2.2-billion with them when they leave the state

Click here: Migration of Personal Income Map illustrates the interstate movement of income over the past decade (from 2000 to 2010). When a person moves to a new state, their income is added to the total of all other incomes in that state. This positively affects the total taxable income in his or her new state, and negatively affects the income in the state he or she left.

Blue Moon over Burlington

Photo by Dan Hockett A Blue Moon rises over Burlington Tuesday night. The term ‘Blue Moon’ was originally defined as the third full moon in a four moon season. An error printed in a 1943 issue of "Sky & Telescope" magazine mistakenly defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a single month. The definition stuck. Tuesday’s blue moon is a ‘technical’ Blue Moon. It is the third full moon in a four-full-moon season. The ‘Blue Moon’ rule was originally detailed in a 1937 edition of Maine Farmers' Almanac. Blue Moons occur infrequently, the next Blue Moon will not occur until 2015.
