Committee Axes Oakley Rules Budget Request
An Iowa joint subcommittee slashed the $97,000 request to fund Brice Oakley's Office of Rules Coordinator, cutting to $47,520 for next year with $49,280 planned for the second year. The move limits the department to rule reviews and governor recommendations, avoiding open-ended funding. Only Sen. Bob Rush opposed the cut amid concerns the office could evolve into an advocacy arm. The debate followed the office’s creation to review legislation and advise the governor. On this date in 1926, the first trans Atlantic radio telephone conversation occurred between New York and London.
