Time running out for happy hours in Iowa
Iowa may move to restrict happy hours as part of a task force recommendation to curb alcohol abuse. Patrick Cavanaugh of the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department said a rule-making process could be initiated to seek public comment on possible limits on happy hours, ladies’ nights, advertising, and hours. The liquor council delayed endorsing the recommendations for a month.

The plan reflects a broader push to privatize federal programs while maintaining bipartisan support for FHA’s housing insurance role. The Defense Department also seeks bids from hospital chains and insurers to run care for dependents and retirees off base.
