Taxpayers Rights Amendment effort fumbles in Iowa election
Des Moines reports show We spent $170000 backing Iowans for Tax Relief and its PAC Taxpayers United, but most targeted Democratic candidates won on November 8. House Speaker Avenson says the group is now partisan as funds favored Republicans only. Robinson defends the movement as nonpartisan yet concedes possible changes to gain adoption in future elections.

Plan would kill six area community colleges in Iowa
A state senator proposed wiping out six of Iowa's 15 community colleges by mutual agreement by Jan 1 or by the 1990 session. The bill would require area college boards to select six closures by Dec 1, with Legislature deciding if no agreement is reached. Critics question delivery sites vs number of colleges and await task-force findings.

Court backs independent blood tests in DUI case
Iowa Court of Appeals rules IDOT must consider independently obtained blood tests if there is a dispute over whether the trooper had reasonable cause to stop a driver who refused field tests. The 5-1 decision overturns Hardin County’s upholding of a license suspension for Irvin Benning, who contested the stop and BAC results.
