Tavern lottery sales passes House
Iowa lawmakers vote 69 26 to allow taverns to sell lottery tickets overturning a 1985 law interpretation. Rep Ed Parker says the measure taps a large potential market and could recoup about 300000 in monthly lost sales. Opponents warn of alcohol and gambling mix, while a voluntary store promotion to boost sales remains debated. Senate committee stalled on a similar bill as lawmakers push broader changes.
