Secretary Miller Pushes 50-Shift Iowa Highway Patrol Expansion
Secretary of State Earl G. Miller backed a forthcoming bill to add fifty patrolmen to the Iowa force, arguing current staffing falls below one patrolman per county. He noted full strength is 125 but drivers license examiner cuts reduce available officers to 84. Miller said no extra funds are needed if the three percent motor vehicle fee allotment remains. Secretaries and representatives discussed sponsorship and political hurdles as a payroll rise meets scrutiny amid a broader public safety bill.

Goode opposes primary road funds diversion for wide right-of-ways
Iowa Representative Dewey Goode criticizes using primary road funds to match federal farm market cash and to widen rights of way on state highways. He notes no federal requirement for 100 foot rights of way and questions federal aid, calling the plan a diversion that endangers the primary road fund. The debate centers on a bill to redirect 1.298 million dollars now and permanently allocate 15 percent of license fees to secondary roads.
