Iowa Game Laws Constitutional Say Iowa's Laws Constitutional
Iowa's fish and game regulations are constitutional says assistant state attorney general Larry Seckington. He notes a misunderstanding with the conservation commission over whether regulations might be unconstitutional and cites the AG's office delaying approval to study them. Tama County attorney Walter Willett reports Orriel Lasley faced charges for shooting a squirrel out of season but charges were dismissed as the season opening date was disputed between the mayor and conservation commission.
