Iowa Legislature Near End as Bills Die in Committees
The Iowa legislature faces a rapid end as many bills are killed in committee. In one session twelve of the house measures were reported for slaughter and several senate bills also died or stalled. Governor Kendall signed the Tuck bill restricting counties to a cash basis and set out reforms to curb public spending. Highway and primary road bills struggle in committees with federal aid at stake. A possible special session looms to finish code revision.
