She says time constraints blocked campaign buildup, leaving Jim Lightfoot David Oman and Paul Pate as remaining contenders with Corning supporters estimated at about 12 percent of likely GOP voters.

Campaign Against Self-Inspection Pollution Measure Gains Ground
Environmental and consumer groups launched a campaign opposing a bill allowing some businesses to audit their own pollution controls. Critics warn audits could hide violations and weaken state enforcement, while supporters say it targets firms with clean records. The groups aired ads on 54 Iowa radio stations amid a contentious statehouse debate.

Changes clarify motorist proof-of-insurance law
Gazette Des Moines reports Iowa lawmakers act to fix enforcement issues in the proof-of-insurance rule. The House Commerce Committee approved a 20-0 measure setting a $100 penalty for violations unless voters raise the simple misdemeanor cap to $1,000 in November. If approved, penalties rise to $250 for driving without coverage and $500 if an accident occurs. Representative Clyde Bradley notes the bill resolves enforcement questions, though it may not settle lawmen’s desire to use the law.
