Alesch Opposes Most State Building Requests in Iowa
Iowa House appropriations chair Gustave Alesch says he will oppose most annual building requests totaling about 1.88 million dollars for state institutions. He supports study and selective funding, citing urgent needs like a Mount Pleasant hospital project while noting many projects may be unnecessary. The proposal stems from boards of education colleges at Ames Cedar Falls and the University of Iowa, with no formal recommendations from Kraschel or Murtagh.
