Group urges court to limit state's debt
Muscatine group Iowans for Tax Relief and 20 plaintiffs ask the Iowa Supreme Court to enforce the constitutional cap of 250000 on state debt without public approval. They challenge TRANS short term notes used to cover cash flow for schools and other payments as unconstitutional debt. The state argues the action misdirected and off budget. A ruling is expected this summer.
