Branstad ethanol only vehicle fuel order stands
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller refused to block Governor Branstad's ethanol blended gasoline directive for state vehicles. He said it aligns with legislative goals and does not violate the requirement to buy cheapest options when bidding. Miller noted the higher fuel cost is small and does not affect other programs. Rep. Tom Jochum requested the opinion.
