Ray Signs Bill With Riot Clause In Iowa
Des Moines Gov Robert Ray signed a 91.4 million dollar per year appropriations bill for the state board of regents, including a rider to bar students convicted of taking part in destructive riots from funding. He also signed two other bills on agricultural property valuation and welfare work requirements, with no comment. The riot clause aims to protect education by limiting tax funds to those who disrupt the academic process. The rural urban clash over the tax assessment bill persisted, with supporters arguing it shifts taxes away from farmers while opponents warn of shifts to residents in small towns.
