Editorial argues former Governor Terry Branstad deserves private citizen rights, including casting a secret ballot. It notes he remains in the public eye and should be free from political scrutiny in personal electoral decisions.
The piece criticizes Governor Branstad for avoiding a clear stance on the Iowa Equal Rights Amendment. It urges decisive leadership, argues the constitution should explicitly protect all people, and calls for bold action to remove ambiguity in Iowa’s governing document. Bronstad is named as a contrasting leader.
The piece notes House members reportedly mismanaging private bank accounts and questions whether this ties to concerns about declining mathematics skills among Americans. It suggests many lawmakers are old enough to know better as the discussion begins.
Pat Buchanan’s outsider run for the presidency drew roughly a third of the GOP vote yet showed limits after New Hampshire. Bethell argues Buchanan miscast himself as a candidate while retaining columnist instincts, neglecting economics and a stronger tax message in favor of anti tax rhetoric.
Column argues Jerry Brown’s flat tax and Clinton’s death penalty stance expose the Democrats’ weak leadership. It likens the flat tax to Reagan era proposals and Friedmanite ideas, noting the party’s struggle to present a credible, principled campaign. It suggests Mario Cuomo might offer lessons for clarity.
A guest column argues Iowa should amend the state constitution to guarantee equality of rights for men and women through a proposed ERA. It traces long suffrage history from Seneca Falls to 1920 and notes Iowa's 1980 and 1982 battles before urging passage in 1992.
