Iowa lawmakers propose a constitutional amendment to require the governor and lieutenant governor to run as a ticket. Senate sponsors say passage this year could start a process, with the change taking effect after a public vote, while January 1987 would remove legislative duties from the lieutenant governor.
Gov. Terry Branstad predicts lawmakers will back Iowa’s share of a proposed world trade center in Des Moines after more explanation. He urged open minds, noted Cedar Rapids misgivings, and said a $30 million state investment over three years is essential. He also defended a tough drunk driving plan targeting under 21s with revocation rules.
Governor Terry Branstad condemned a proposed unitary tax on Iowa businesses at a Statehouse briefing. He warned it would be devastating and cited Minnesota as a bad example after 3M shifted headquarters to Forest City Iowa following Minnesota’s unitary tax.
The Iowa Senate peeled two major sections from a bill to broaden public employee collective bargaining, removing language forcing negotiations on job descriptions and bargaining unit work. Debate adjourned with no final vote and resumes Monday at 10 a.m. Sen. Art Small said public sector bargaining differs from private sector and emphasized service needs.
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau cautions Gov Branstad’s budget is $2.9 million in the red for next year as revenues are projected at 6.3 percent growth, 1.1 percent below the governor’s forecast. Dennis Prouty notes a $6.7 million year end balance offsets part of the gap while urging scrutiny of a $21 million transfer from the general fund to the road use tax fund.
