Iowa lawmakers debate recess expenses and per diem rules
A heated discussion centers on whether Iowa legislators should receive $20 per day for expenses during May to July recesses. Some say the payment covers non existent costs, while Solicitor General Haesemeyer argues the per diem is set by law and must be paid. The issue prompts calls to amend the code to clarify eligibility during extended absences and previews upcoming raises raising daily expenses from $20 to $30 and salaries from $8,000 to $12,000.
