The Linn County Board of Supervisors consider a local labor preference ordinance drawing on a 1985 Iowa bill. Attorney Matthew Glasson proposes favoring county residents on public improvement bids over $5,000, with 50 percent bona fide residents, plus minority and women goals. Officials caution about constitutional scrutiny and need for strong justification.
