Branstad signs waste reduction and tax bills in Iowa
Gov. Terry Branstad signed a law to cut waste disposed in Iowa landfills by 25 percent by 1994 and 50 percent by 2000, banning yard waste and certain materials. He vetoed a $1 vehicle registration fee to fund the program, saying it is an unnecessary tax increase. Funds will come from the general fund. He also signed a separate action preserving a retrofit energy program while correcting an drafting error.
