Lawmakers pass budget, tax cut before ajourning

Iowa lawmakers are done for the year after passing a $7.5 billion budget and massive tax cut bill.  The party-line vote on both happened Saturday--18 days after the scheduled end of the session.  The new tax law sees Iowa's top tax rate fall to 6.5 percent by 2023.
