Opposition to highway patrol consolidation voiced by Iowa official
Secretary of State Earl G Miller condemned a proposed public safety restructuring that would merge the highway patrol, state bureau of investigation, fire marshal, and truck inspection into a governor-appointed department. He warned the move could undermine highway safety and limit enforcement to other areas, insisting the patrol be kept as a separate unit under his office. The bill would also cut 188 jobs from the secretary of state's office.
