DES MOINES The senate appropriations committee endorsed an amendment that would reneg on state aid promised to cities building sewage treatment plants. A bill would provide 15 million dollars over two years as state matching funds and 3 million for projects from 1966 to 1969, but a rider requiring 50 percent federal matching would likely bar most retroactive payments, angering Cedar Rapids and Dubuque and others who led water quality efforts.
