No Iowa Senate ethics censure since 1955 records show
The piece recalls the last censure in 1955 involving Harold Young of the Iowa Temperance League. It recounts 1969 ethics actions on Senate Majority Leader David Stanley over appearances before local boards for Crane Co. and Maytag Co. and notes admonishment rather than removal. It also covers ensuing complaints and contempt provisions in the Iowa Code.
