Davis said metropolitan counties lack representation to shape taxation, workmen’s comp, safety and fair employment laws, and that municipal shares of road and gasoline taxes are unfair. He represents about 75,000 members with 28,000 in Polk, 15,000 in Linn, 16,000 in Black Hawk, 8,000 in Woodbury, and 5,000 in Scott counties. The hearing opened before a three judge federal court on apportionment for Iowa’s legislative seats.
