Iowa Governor Hoegh faces clash over law enforcement control
Jake More, Democratic state chairman, accuses Governor Hoegh of shifting enforcement to Clinton Moyer, a safety commissioner, to block Countryman from cracking down on illegal liquor sales. More cites Scott County Tavern Operators giving 17000 to Hoegh and holding 126 of 322 liquor tax stamps, plus Ed Frick’s role in Toll Road Authority and ties to Frick’s business. He argues this defies Attorney General Countryman as state’s chief law enforcement officer.
