Critics warn against balanced budget amendment at Iowa news conference
activists urge Senators Harkin and Grassley to oppose the proposal calling it a sham and snake oil. Common Cause organized the briefing at the Statehouse as supporters cite a 2002 budget balance deadline and a path to state ratification.
